I am planning to walk the Coast to coast route so after research bought these two Harvey maps. The route is great and very helpfully put togther but I WAS EXPECTING TO HAVE BOUGHT ''Strong durable waterproof polythyene map for walkers'' as this are the exact words that are on the cover of the map but sad to say IT IS NOT. Its a normal paper map insind a plastic sleve which is open at one end. Its not laminated as I expected at all. Perhaps I missed something in the write-up but there it is. Its WIPE PROOF if the open end of the sleve is pointing downwards but certainly not a 'waterproof map'. I plan to cut it up and laminate it myself. JUST BE INFORMED. I dont normally moan but I want others to know. Thanks, Jezz....
EDIT OF ABOVE... I have just completed the Coast to Coast (March 24th 2011) in 10 brilliant days with tent and sleeping bag on my back, it was wonderful. I purchased all the relevent O/S maps (second hand) and made one huge strip map of them, then cut it into 3 thin strips before I left home and I was so glad I did. The Harvey maps did not work well for me as the detail was not great enough so after 2 days they were not brought out of my backpack again in favour of the O/S maps. I had highlighted the route from the Harvey maps onto the O/S strip map and for this I am gratetful to the Harvey maps but apart from that they did not work well. By all means try these Harvy maps but my tip is please dont go onto the fells with ONLY these maps. Have fun and be safe. Jezz.

I was virtually born with an Ordnance Survey map in my hand and its a rare day when I don't find myself using one for something. In my opinion they are some of the best walking maps in the world and I'm generally reluctant to bother with anything else if an OS map is available. I bought this map and the matching one for the east section of the route whilst planning our Coast to Coast walk in 2009 because it not only marks the route (unlike the OS, as its not an official route) but fits it onto just two fairly compact maps. We walked east to west - a much better way to do it, but trickier to navigate as most of the signs only point the other way and guidebooks are all written west to east. I didn't expect to use it on the walk, but on the first day I set off with Wainwright's guide book, a modern guide book, the relevant OS maps and the Harvey's Coast to Coast East map. The next day the books stayed in our overnight baggage. I still took the OS maps with me, but they were buried in my rucksack in case I needed them. The map I found myself using every day was the Harvey's map. The size is nice and compact and the format easy to use. The detail is excellent and on the rare occasions when I pulled out the OS map to cross reference on a tricky to navigate section the Harvey's map actually seemed clearer. I won't be binning my OS maps yet, but Harvey's are a viable alternative and for the Coast to Coast undoubtedly the best maps for the walk.

I have just completed the coast to coast and found the Harvey strip maps to be excellent. The material they are made from is fantastic - durable and water proof. Can't recommend them enough.

Brilliant format. We don't need the whole of all of the OS maps so this, with just the bits we are going to walk in the spring, is great. Read more
