This suggestion is something that's been on and off in my head recently. The fact that Kai sent Tracksticks out doesn't mean that we have to use aid devices, nor that we have to use any GPS device at all - after all, a stopwatch, a good map and a camera can do the same job used correctly ! If the information sent was detailed enough, that'd allow for more labyrinths in more towns -> more coverage.

Some samples for your enjoyment Very Happy

Lol... Sorry I missed it... just made another post somewhere else suggesting we make this happen... and within in a minute found this post... Grrrr... Darn.
Count me in for future London events though.

Indeed. the one we did was on the small size, so we could get a big team and do a huge version over the whole city.

I like that idea... we still face the same problem you originally faced, which is that London is not based on usual city planning, it does not stem from either the grid system or a medeavil base... instead it's a conglomerate of small medeavil based towns... makes finding a repeating patern a pain in the arse.

We could use a massive park to do a seven circuit... Something like Richmond park could do the trick... But that might be too far outside the center...

Here's the completed amalgamation. Plan, geotagged photos and trackstick data
the trackstick didnt work that well in the middle, however.

Good job, Team London! When I lived in UK, I often went to Japanese restaurants/shops along Brewer St. near Piccadilly, and your map and photos reminded me of a lot about London!

Really a good job.

What was the resulting omph strength? (and is the kmz file available?)
