Either that, or maybe I should just go for a walk.I've been having really bad Kirishima brain rot and Insomnia so this was nice to edit Perhaps my next step should be to dig into my Google location data to see how much detail they have on me. I've probably completed quite a significant amount more, but clearly failed to track it. So it turns out that I've walked just 11%, or 120km, of the South West Coast Path with my GPS tracker on. My day job often deals with geometries on a global scale, at which point one really needs Cartopy's clever treatment of the antimeridian and poles, but when the problem lies in a space that Cartesian coordinates are appropriate, the existing tools (Shapely, Fiona, GeoJSON, Folium) really do shine. I will want to do this in the future in order to answer my remaining question "How far have I walked in total whilst walking the South West Coast Path?", but I will have to keep that for a future blog post.įolium was a great tool to make use of for visualising this data. This will be necessary if I want a more sophisticated means of filtering those tracks that include both walking and driving (i.e. For that, I would need to roll my own KML parser. I was able to use OGR/Fiona to read in the GPS logger data (in KML/KMZ), but it wasn't able to keep track of the timestamp of each coordinate. I got hold of some GPX data from the UK's National Trails website, and combined this with my own GPS logger data (KMZ/KML via My Tracks) to compute how much of the South West Coast Path I've walked (and tracked). kmzĭropping (due to distance): Half Scilly.kmzĭropping (due to distance): Koala Walk.kmzĭropping (due to distance): Newborough.kmzĭropping (due to distance): St Mary's.kmzĭropping (due to distance): Un Mapped Coast Path.kmzĭropping (due to distance): Unnamed Road.kmzĭropping (due to distance): Via Pennino.kmzĭropping (due to distance): Vicar Of Dibley.

DriverError Traceback (most recent call last) This might spur me on to do new sections, as well as giving me some more motivation for remembering to track my walks in the future. To address both of these, I figured I needed to visualise the data and to do some calculations to figure out how much of it I've walked (whilst using a GPS tracker). I've also noticed that I get into a bit of a rut with regards to going to new sections of the path. Over the last few walks I've been thinking about how much of the 630 miles I've actually done. This is somewhat of a defensive strategy, as I've a bit of a reputation with friends and family for under-estimating exactly how far it is I intend to drag them along for :). When I remember to do so, I also use a GPS tracker so that I can see how far/high/fast I walked. I don't consider myself to be a "serious" hiker, but I do enjoy going for a walk and being by the sea. It is steeped with history, and apparently was originally created by the coastguard who used it to patrol the south west peninsula looking out for smugglers. The UK's South West Coast Path is a scenic, cultural and culinary delight spanning 630 miles from Minehead to Poole.

I'm fortunate to live near to one of the best continuous coastal walking/hiking routes in the world.
