I love maps. They’re not just a plan of where everything is,
they help you to discover interesting places; especially if you see a footpath
or sign as you’re passing as it helps you to decide if these areas are worth
your time exploring and where the best parts are. They generally try to be to
scale but you often have to orientate yourself and find landmarks to ensure that
you’re heading in the right direction. Ordnance Survey may cover
everything but often in too much detail and it’s hard to see everything on the
same spot so a compass or GPS device is ideal when you have a choice of different
paths. Sometimes it’s hard to determine if a trail has a right of way so you’ve
got to know how to use this equipment. Handing a map to someone who hasn’t got
a clue of where they started isn’t going to be much help.
