How's this for a travel challenge — a 13,000km road-trip to visit every road that’s named after a day in the year.

Ben Ashforth used OpenStreetMap to find all possible streets in Europe named after a day of the year, then created an algorithm to route the trip. He documented his journey and recently presented it in a 5 minute lightening talk at the Electromagnetic Field (www.emfcamp.org) camping festival in Eastnor, United Kingdom.

I came across this in the ETF chat group and thought it was worth sharing for a Friday.

You can view all the street signs on Ben's road-trip at benguin.co.uk/roads/

(Skip 30 seconds in the video to the start of the talk).
