I've never owned an OS map of my old stomping ground before and we're moving back there next week..
I've just had a quick peek and there's a hell of a lot left to be explored.. some of those contour lines are packed in ever so tightly too..
dead excited.. 😀
Number?
I love OS maps - I could wall paper the house in them. Probably would then never leave.
Give me a map and I'm lost for hours 😉
Agreed, wife got me a nice laminated OS map for crimbo. Love it!
You're moving back there next week?
You won't be wanting a lift to Lee Scratch Perry next Tuesday then?
That's mint yunki I feel your joy. I remember when I first got an OS map of my local area after getting into biking and for the first time finding several bridleways that could be all linked up to form a great big trail, including one part through an actual forest. Me and my mate did it and we were like errr i thinks it's that way or maybe that way, great fun finding our way through. That was 3 years ago now but I still cycle it every now and then and we call it 'the old track' lol cycling's great.
Where?
Moving back to East Devon on Friday 15th.. so that's still a yes please for a lift to the Phoenix, then a day to recover before Mrs Yunki's Uncle's wedding on the 14th before moving day on the Friday
bleeurrrrrghh..
I've got a map chest full of them in my office - recent ones, overseas ones, old series OS. Love them.
Maps are just ace, love buying them when abroad too.
Trimix, with you all the way there, in fact I think I'll start with the toilet ... 🙂
Where you moving to Mr Yunki? I hope you'll still be around for some riding in the summer?
yeah, I'll still be about.. I'm only going another 45 minutes up the road really.. just to the other side of the Exe
I'd have had to make the journey anyway for a look at your Horsethief.. I think I'd need specialist equipment or at least a step ladder to try and clamber aboard the thing though.. 😳
You can climb onto it from the bridge in the Cleave 😉 Good luck with the move, how are the cakes?
my parents live in Ottery - there's loads of stuff east of Exe, and you've got Woodbury to play at too....
OS Maps are great. Anyone read that 'Map Addict' book?
Anyone remember the BBC series Map Man with Nick Crane?
Love maps, i have all of Scotland metric OS and most in older Imperial which show a lot of now lost roads...
😉

The cakes are awesome Sam, getting booked up pretty quickly this year, it's going to be busy
there's loads of stuff east of Exe, and you've got Woodbury to play at too..
That's what I was figuring, Woodbury will be my local loop from the door, but after living on Dartmoor for two years I've been spoilt with all day epics..
It looks like there's plenty of riding at East Hill, Sidmouth, Honiton and on to the Blackdown hills though.. [s]probably[/s] maybe even enough to keep me away from the temptations of the coast path 😀
Feelin the map love here too....favourite one is from a trip to morocco about 20 years ago that me and my big Sis took.
Oh how I pored over that map with it's exotic palm trees and sand dunes.
For a cycling mad 17 year old from the west coast of Scotland who
who had never been abroad the promise of this map was amazing and all corners were pored over.
Might have to go and dig it out for a wee trip down memory lane..,,
Oh I love maps. Last year I discovered IGN maps. On many a morning I would return from the Super U with ingredients for a packed lunch... and another IGN map 😆
