If a similar plan is envisaged in UK I would be pleased to put you in touch with appropriate person at Middlesex University, as I am sure we would be interested in participating.

I considered seeing if you wanted me to cycle around Newcastle or somewhere, in exchange for the data being available for use in OSM. Durdle Door should be viewed from the pebble beach. I don't see your trike cycling along that, and you won't get a good angle from the cliff top footpath. Also, how many of these footpaths don't allow cyclists?

What next google street view boat??? Hmm now theres an idea, boats with the streetview camera for doing rivers, lakes, coasts etc. I put my hand up to helm that boat, that would be cool! Wonder how well the cameras work when they are rolling about!!

That's the whole reason I voted for the coast, to see if it could be done :) “but just think of our poor cyclist (not me !!) who may have to cycle round Loch Ness or the Pembrokeshire Coast.”
