I have my query showing all the parks, but don't know how to refine it by name. unhurt on "Mapping help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18202#post-263875 Thu, 19 Oct 2017 12:52:01 +0000 unhurt 263875@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ I've got them on my radar now. Will always support mental health charities, having seen up close how unable the NHS and other services are to provide the necessary support & the fall-out from that lack.

Its a '100 streets'challenge in aid of Support In Mind Scotland The idea is to walk/run or cycle 100 different streets in a day. To make it a bit more challenging I said any pal who sponsored at least £10 could pick a street. The upshot is I have 32 sponsored (mostly very hilly) streets all over the city. I also have 100 streets to link them into a circuit. I'm genuinely surprised my city tour will involve about 60 miles! I'll be doing that this wednesday. Hopefully storm free!

Radge is definitely more common.

You were definitely brought up in Edinburgh then, not heard anyone from further afield use the term "barry" :-) In fact it might even be peculiar to people of my/our vintage, my son and schoolfriends dont use it. jonty on "Mapping help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18202#post-262501 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 20:56:40 +0000 jonty 262501@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ If you want to be fancy you could try Overpass Turbo - it's a bit hard to understand but sounds like it kind of fits your needs and allows export to PNG images and gpx: <a href="http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/s8a" rel="nofollow">http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/s8a</a> <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo#For_the_mapper" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_turbo#For_the_mapper</a> <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Language_Guide" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Overpass_API/Language_Guide</a> Edinburgh Cycle Training on "Mapping help" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18202#post-262493 Tue, 03 Oct 2017 20:14:33 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 262493@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Old School, barry!

I need to then link those streets for a charity bike ride. Anybody got any suggestions? If it could then be transferred to a Garmin or GPS type thing to follow on the day even better, but the important bit is to identify all the streets I've been sponsored to ride, then plan a route between them! Thanks.
