4th - Preparation

Cheltenham, Glos.

It's never too early to plan the upcoming weekend's walking activities...

Actually, this is just an excuse to take a photo of (some of) my large-scale 1:25000 OS Explorer maps - things of beauty they are, to be bent and folded and shoved in trouser pockets and dropped in puddles, and then pored over in the comfort of an armchair to find just the right walk

Haaaa! You can't do THAT on a Kindle, Mr. Normanton!

Ah the joys of travel! ...

They look interesting. I can imagine studying them to find the best places to go ...!

Cindi Smith		05-May-2011 03:35
Sounds like a great plan...my weekend will be taken up by a wedding. Can't wait to see pics of your outing!

lots to be learned scanning ahead with a good map...that's a great scale...I have four of the standard OS series...#'s 98, 190, 191, 203,...they are very informative yet set at 1:50 000...yours are double that so must catch even the local puddles..

hehehe...@ the reference to MR N's K***le Maps like books in the written form, rule !!!! :)

Carl Carbone		05-May-2011 00:02
Maps do make great study material. I like the way you think.

Phillip Normanton		04-May-2011 22:40
Well obviously you'd do that on your GPS whilst linked to your laptop... a proper GPS that is, not one of those silly SatNav thingies. Who'd ever think of using a Kindle for map-reading?! Tsk tsk. Just shows how little you know about them ;o) NB. I'm reading an actual book at the moment as I have a little pile to get through... but it's not as easy as reading on the Kindle, oh nooo. Not a bit. ;oP

I understand the pasion and absolute joy a map can bring you, and agree not something to be kept in prestine condition but pored over used and loved like a pair of your favourite old walking boots.

Stephanie		04-May-2011 21:22
LOL at the Norman dig! Lovely image Doug ~ I'll bet these are very helpful maps! :)

There's nothing better than planning a journey from the comfort of home

Could that be you on the bike ? Great maps for great times.

Colin Storey		04-May-2011 19:30
I have a collection of these also, most of mine are for up north though. Well taken.

John Reynolds LRPS		04-May-2011 19:12
Yep, they're great!

Walter Otto Koenig		04-May-2011 18:52
Great presentation. The OS maps are excellent, very detailed and very accurate.

Dek Grant		04-May-2011 18:39
Excellent - and reminds me how ill prepared I can be. Great lighting and great composition.
