Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Shame. Hope they hang on. I was shown the delights of Stamford maps from a running mate. Fantastic shop.

I suspected they were in trouble when they moved from their splendid old building into the much more compressed dinky store they're in now.

They had a great shop in Bristol stocking IGN maps of France, spent far too much time and money there over the years.

I bought myself a mazzle (Harvey map jigsaw puzzle) of Snowdon area. Thought it would be easy but actually it’s quite difficult and great fun. Got my mum a mazzle (she is a fan of maps too) of Cairngorms and we’re going to swap.
