Well well well, I move abroad for a few years and come back to this beautifully decorated Google Maps Christmas tree. When I came up with this idea a few years ago I wanted to take that sense of community intrinsic to LandZone and transfer it into the real world. Watching Top Gear fly to exotic places is all well and good, but I wanted to encourage people to get out and about in their own back yards and explore the UK.
Having looked at the map in detail I find it quite surprising, I had always imagined the majority of our members to be from rural areas in the UK&I, with but a limited few in cities. From what I can see the opposite is true. The majority of us live in England, hailing from coastal areas or larger cities, that is, with the exception of Oxfordshire which is baron for some reason...
Awards go to;
User Tim.C - For being the most northern....well apart from Michael Parkinson, obviously.....
User RTC Welding - For shamelessly advertising their services
User BakerCollett - For somehow surviving in the harsh Norwegian Sea
Now tell me, from this thread, how many of you met up or at the very least messaged other members local to you? How many days out did you go on? How many found help or provided help to other users?
