Visited Canals (dot co dot uk)

I was amused by 'Visited Countries', a neat and simple way of creating a map to show all the countries one has visited. (How did they think up that name?)

Considering I was born in a corner of Arabia and I didn't see the UK until I was 8 and my papa worked abroad until he retired (he was a colonial policeman in the days when we had colonies), I was surprised to see how bare my own list of visited countries is.

Many of them are tiny places, like Jamaica and Trinidad, that are too small to show, wonderful though they are.  Most of the big ones were literally flying visits.  (Alaska is fanciful - it's lumped in with Alabama, Illinois and New York, the only three US states I've set foot on.) 

Anyway, to the point:  Wouldn't it be neato to have a similar sort of 'canals I have cruised' map to put on one's canal blog.

It shouldn't be too difficult.  All you'd need is someone with an interest in mapping and the English waterways, and I suspect he could run up a website like that over a weekend.   Are there any such people? 

Update:  Mark Muscroft points out the bin there, done that map on Ramyshome's website.
