OpenStreetMap - I can quit any time...

Really, mapping isn't supposed to be addictive, it's supposed to be a chore.  There's no good reason why I should cheerfully scurry down overgrown trails, muttering and making sure that every single way is traced -- especially not in a salt marsh!  Okay, so it was a lovely evening, but instead of going training I ended up on a spit of sand in the middle of an estuary, covered in fluffy pollen, watching a young fox chase butterflies while wondering if I'd be able to get all the paths before the light went. 

You do find cool stuff, though.  Stunning views like today's.  Kinky little link-ups that I'd never have found if I wasn't just finding every way (algorithm: keep turning left. Yup, I run Logo).  All manner of random beasties and secret spots where the mushrooms are already fruiting.

The simple joy of discovery, even if it's been discovered plenty of times already.  I'm already looking forward to doing Tignes in a quiet few hours...
