Maps

Local Smiths has 3 for 2 on OS maps. Perhaps yours does too.

Must be country wide, while in skegie last week the local smiths had the same offer on :) very handy.

I must work out what I need as that's much better than mapkiosk.co.uk

My only concern is how up to date the maps are. The ones locally had copyright 1999 but I'm not sure how important that is.

Still a good buy though.

OS are in the process of updating all the maps with the new right to roam markings and the latest RoW information.   The process has been happening since before Christmas, so they will have done most of them by now.

They should have a date on them somewhere to show how up to date they are.

That's what I thought might be the case. Then again I guess OS maps are never really up to date although the nice lady at Shropshire CC suggested if I wanted to know about the ROW there I should just buy an OS map. In fairness my enquiry was about a bunch of lanes they had reclassified as bridleways some years ago.

That was quick reply by the way!

Issue D was 2001, issue c 1999 so I'll be looking for issue E if possible.  Glad I saw this though as I need a couple soon.

Wonder if WH Smiths are offering to get rid of their old stock before the new ones come out

You could always buy Online on the Ordinance Survey Website. They are up to date and you can have a map centred over anywhere you want.
I have bought about 6 this year so far.

Not 111, 120 and 121 by any chance

I saw those personalised maps on mapkiosk but boy did they cost and ink jet printed so don't get them wet! Maybe OS do a better cheaper job.

There is also a walking site that will give you OS maps of the walk and of course any ROW that are on the map will appear. I assume these maps are as good as they get.

I also walk and use this site to get planned circular walks - it costs 15 quid a year for any number of their walks but obviously you only get maps for the walk. Surprising number of ROW around Stiperstones - although I wouldn't want to drive them as it isn't really in keeping and they are just flat grass lanes - ideal for disabled access though.

Quite seriously if you have a disabled friend who wants to see some lovely countryside then I think these routes would probably provide teh access.

I’ve recently been updating my maps from the O S web site.
I don’t know up to date the online map is but it’s quite handy.
