About this product

The A-Z Adventure series puts Ordnance Survey's most detailed mapping, OS Explorer at 1:25,000, into a book, so there's no folding and refolding a large sheet map. Closed, each atlas is the size of a standard OS Explorer map.

An index lists towns, villages, natural features, car parks and youth hostels, each with a page and a six-figure grid reference. A route planner gives distances and amenities along the way, from campsites to cafes, and QR codes link to useful websites.

Five books cover all 630 miles of the path, from Minehead to Poole Harbour, so you choose the stretch you need.

No unfoldingTurn the page instead of wrestling with a large map in the wind.

Worked well

Good little activity for a quiet afternoon.

Could be better

I wanted a book to work better, especially around the family use. It was not a disaster, but I would not rush to recommend it.
