If you're travelling the GUC you need these maps! Simple. I travelled by bicycle from Little Venice in London to Birmingham Gas Street Basin in July last year & will be doing so again in April. Everything you need to know is documented & is incredibly accurate. As it should be as it's a map & it's not like you can really get lost as you can only go one way. That said they display Sainsbury's & Tesco's along with other facilities including Sports Centres which are handy to shower in! & if you're planning to run, walk, cycle this route, then you will appreciate the accuracy as it can be a hard journey. Easy identifiable mile markers are on the map which is helpful if you're planning a daily trip distance & if you're planning to camp then when used in conjunction with google earth, a good idea can be gained of an appropriate place to do so. Pubs are listed on the map also however there is a lot more on route that aren't & the majority of pub's are of the gastro variety so be prepared to pay £12+ for a main dish. The maps themselves are simple to use & in their folded state is A5 size, bearing in mind that when folded about 5-10 miles will be displayed so with repetitive refolding & getting in & out of a map wallet they do tend to get tatty especially if it's damp. If you're thinking about travelling this journey then do it, a unique adventure between England largest cities & although never really far from somewhere, there will be times when it can feel like an eternity without seeing anyone or anything other than rolling countryside, cows & of course the canal.
These are excellent maps with just the right amount of detail for my activity: a bike ride from London to Aylesbury. I'll be doing the other section soon and noticed that there is sufficient overlap between maps 1 and 3 to avoid the need to buy map 2 as well. My only complaint is that the maps are pretty flimsy and start to tear quickly on the folds. Would probably fall apart quickly if used in wet weather and exposed to a bit of damp.
Have used these maps elsewhere on the canals. Simple and easy to understand, shows everything you need to know about the canal you are travelling on. Perfect for checking distance, location of locks, bridges, and waterways facilities. Just the job.
