Travel & Holiday,Travel Atlases & Maps Great British Adventure Map by Strumpshaw Tincleton & Giggleswick Britain is the ultimate adventure playground – it’s beautiful, perfectly proportioned and small enough that you can explore it properly without having to blag an enormous career break. And with so much variety – superb coastline, idyllic islands, luscious landscapes and incredible views – crammed into such a small area, Britain really is the perfect place to discover adventure. The Great British Adventure Map features 2,500 of Britain’s great wild places, mountains, islands, beaches, waterways, viewpoints, eccentric events and long-distance routes, peppered with some randomly inspiring trivia and amusingly quirky touches. Designed to bring the fun back to holiday planning, and prove that Britain is a brilliant place for adventures big and small, it will inspire you to get outside and enjoy some great home-grown adventures. This map is joyously busy. Hopefully you will be too. Printed full-colour, two-sided as a fold-out map and reference guide showing all of Britain’s best outdoorsy bits on a single sheet of paper. Folds out to 100 cm x 89 cm (but could expand your horizons considerably further). Printed on Progeo professional mapping paper and machine-folded with supreme fastidiousness. Shipped in a super-sturdy unmarked cardboard envelope, with no paperwork – perfect for wrapping or sending as a gift.

    I got one of these for most of my friends for Christmas and for my brother, who has just passed his driving test.It’s got some funny ideas for things to do and places to go, such as a black pudding throwing contest but doesn’t seem to have National Trust Properties. It names all the beaches in Cornwall, so that will be really handy in summer.I live in the North West of England and judging by the map, there’s nothing to do and it’s all greyed out. Obviously not a fair reflection because it doesn’t even mention the pie n mash shop in Cleveleys.Makes a quirky present and a nice map to base Google searches on for day trips.

I never thought of a map as being “well written” but this one is.What I mean is that it’s covered in really interesting and witty comments — to some of the best places to visit in the UK. For example, it quotes one of the greatest British comedians, Billy Connolly, with these words which are used as a subtle kind of slogan: “Windswept and interesting,”Here’s an example: the blurb on the River Thames ends with this strange fact: the record for sailing a paper boat down the Thames, a distance of 160 miles, was held for 383 years until it was broken in 2003.What’s brilliant about this map is that it’s a kind of guidebook to the land but in a format that is both old-fashioned and highly visual. No more flicking back to the map as one does with a real guidebook. And it’s much nicer than the online versions where one ends up flicking around like crazy. All the texts/blurbs are in little boxes that point into the specific area.The publisher deserves credit for hiring a brilliant writer and editor. It may well be the same person.I’m going to use it to cycle round the UK. Although I’ll be using my phone App for on-the-ground directions I will refer to this map when planning the next day trip; and I find it really useful to get an overview of where you are in the country as the SatNav version just gives you a very close view — and zooming out isn’t as satisfying.I will also be buying more copies in the future as it’s an ideal gift. It would look good framed, mounted and hung on a wall.
