Hi everyone! I found it weird that there were no pages for UK created so here it is! Anyone in London to talk to?!

I occasionally pop down to London, used to live there. I’m based up in Ipswich up in Suffolk.
G’day UK!
I wanted to bring your attention to an awesome initiative set up by Rob Nickerson.
OSM UK members now have access an LG 360 which they are able to rent for a very small fee that helps cover the cost of the program.
Hi all
I’m a fairly new user of Mapillary and I’m based in Warwickshire. Are there any Mapillary users out there that’s also based close to where I am?
Hiya, yes. I’m also Warwickshire based.
That’s good to know. 
Just checked out your tracks on Mapillary. I noticed they’re mainly walking tracks in very interesting parts of the country. Can I ask what phone/action cam do you use and how you mount in on your body or was it hand-held?
All my images so far have been captured while driving and I want to start capturing walking/hiking routes. I have a Yi action cam with a clip that I can attach to the strap of my shoulder bag, allowing my hands free and less intrusive than if I have a camera/phone on a stick hand-held.
Thanks! I tend to capture in one of two ways. Either holding my iPhone 6s in my right hand, or with a monopod when using my 360° camera.
The monopod rig is with the misphere camera at the top, then I have a clamp and a phone holder attached halfway down the monopod, with my phone in it. I carry the monopod, with the phone about face height.
I mostly do this as the phone gives much higher detail than the 360. It also has better GPS that I scrape from the photos and then use for the 360° images after they’re stitched.
I’m looking to make it a bit more hands free, but the gyro in the 360 can be overly sensitive, and I can’t be bothered with adjusting the horizon on hundred or thousands of photos.

I’m in West Yorkshire, anyone in my area?
judging by motorway coverage, people don’t tend to capture much around them/in urban areas.
I guess it is car-based street level imagery after all.
London coverage is a good example of the main streets covered, and the rest left to Bing
