Going where the car doesn't...

This is an interesting story on the mapping of Britain away from the roads.


Here's the story of Dr. Uy Hoang:

Dr. Uy Hoang, 51, decided to act after realizing he couldn’t see his local town path online and now he is single-handedly mapping Britain's waterways as a hobby.

He has taken a staggering 300,000 snaps and uploaded them to the online mapping service - making him the most prolific contributor in Britain and ninth in the world, he says.

Starting in 2015, he has spent the last 10 years covering the nation's rivers and canals - walking an estimated 1,600 miles.

Uy, from London, says he’s covered at least 75% of the nation's canal network so far.
