- You can use walking papers printouts if you don't have a GPS.
- Laptop/PDA: again recommended, but not essential. There are some mapping and tracking programs out there which can be used for generating GPX files and displaying maps.
- A camera: useful for mapping but also to have a nice souvenir

Slices
Slices for Mapping Party. Areas are not all the same size and may not all be as easy as they look. If you want to help with a particular area please put you name next to it. If you have local knowledge and know of better names of areas please amend, (Oh and add them to OSM please :) ) I've tried to put a mix, of ones suitable for people with different mapping methods/transportation..... If 2,3 and 7 look small watch out for the Cliff!

List
I'm sure there are some better names for these areas but they need finding and adding to the map!
The Comments are meant to help, Even areas marked done could do with verification and more details adding.... I've not really looked at the higher numbered areas >20 they are outlying rural areas and are likely to need quite a bit of work....
Many areas have road layouts sketched in from yahoo, but no names (See NoNames map). Slices to the East are just outside of yahoo aerial imagery coverage, hence no road layouts!
| Slice # | Description | Who | Comments |
