I've added various tertiary and secondary roads between Athleague, Four Roads and Knockcroghery over the last two days.

On top of that one of the Kinvara <-> Gort roads was on the log today and a few smaller roads around Galway City including parts of Mervue Business Park.

The stretch between New Inn over Ballymacward and Castleblankeney to Mountbellew is also on the map now.

I was in Norwich on Monday. I was visiting family so had very little time or opportunity for mapping. I was able to get some rough traces of roads and collect a few POIs. Near the station I did The Nelson hotel, its gastropub restaurant "Table Table" (!?) and the taxi pickup at the station itself. Later on, I was able to trace Cotman Road from a taxi and also had the chance to walk down a bit of Telegraph lane and in a loop back through Ranson Road.

Not much but every little counts. The GPS traces for all of this were a bit vague; there are also some footways that want adding (e.g. steps from Norwich Station to Thorpe Road, a track between Ranson Road and Thorpe Road, etc).

If I'm ever in Norwich for long enough I might be able to add a bit more detail.

The Number 11 bus route in Birmingham is a local icon. It connects all the outer suburbs in a circular route and is the longest urban bus route in Europe. The 11A goes anticlockwise and the 11C goes clockwise

So today being the eleventh day of the eleventh month www.elevenbus.co.uk publicised for people to board the 11 bus anywhere on the route at 11 a.m and record their trips as a social record.

So I did my bit for OSM by boarding at the Acocks Green Garage (where the no 11 has its home) and spent the next 2.5 hours doing a complete round trip, recording every bus stop in the clock wise direction.

40.7 Km later I had 134 GPS-waymarked bus stops to edit ( that should keep me occupied for a while). I didn't have the stamina to go round anticlockwise! I'll leave that for a cold rainy winter day when biking to collect data is not an option.

My driver for the day was Raf from Poland who has been driving this route since 2005, he drives the route 3 times a day and it is the only bus route he has driven. Drivers go round a complete circuit and change buses every time they get to Acocks Green bus garage

Agnes-Wabnitz-Straße in a development area in Berlin Pankow was still missing. Also missing the name of the Kurt-Exner-Straße. I also add the description of the eponym and a link to Wikipedia and fix the Erich-Nehlhans-Straße which is the Walter-Friedländer-Straße on the north side of the Thearstraße.

My first edits. Oliver Street was misnamed as Oliver Road so I fixed that. Also added suburb name Freshwater because it's not appearing in some maps. It was recently renamed from Harbord and there is confusion around. The tag "Freshwater (Previously Harbord)" sometimes appears when viewing maps but wasn't there to be edited. Perhaps an experienced user will know how to fix that.
