Thanks for that link Homer...it's brilliant. Another mapaholic here...never done orienteering either. One of these days I might try it but I don't have much spare time, what with work, running and yoga.

I've been looking at maps either for the various walks I've done with my company in the Lakes or Peaks, then family history for hubby out of my interest to see where they were. He has a number of ancestors who were either coal miners or potters/in the pottery trade from his father's side of the family.
