I hope a little bit of self-promotion is allowed?

My wife and I run "Open Benches" which is a crowdsourced collection of memorial benches. We've got about 25,000 in the UK!

If you're out for a walk in the sunshine this weekend, please take a photo of any memorial benches you see. You'll need to turn on location tagging on your phone's camera - that way we can accurately place the benches on the map.

Enjoy!

This is a wild hobby. What inspired you to create a place for people to document memorial benches?

Part of it is being an open data geek. And part of it is trying to understand the psychogeography of the world.
