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.
I purchased this map, together with Grand Union Canal Map 1Grand Union Canal: Birmingham to Fenny Stratford Map 1 (Inland Waterways of Britain), the Macclesfield CanalMacclesfield and Peak Forest Canals (Inland Waterways of Britain) & Trent/Mersey canalTrent and Mersey Canal: Preston Brook to Fradley Junction: Map 1 (Inland Waterways of Britain) maps, to assist with the planning of a tow path bike ride to Carnforth in Lancashire. They show a lot of useful information for those travelling by water but due to their layout tend to disorientate one from any compass directions. Having got them I then used OS maps for my detailed route planning as they provided the extra detail for navigating areas away from the canal itself.
This map is an essentual accessory for anyone who wishes to explore the canal by walking or on a bike. It shows all the crossing roads so you can sort out easy car parking to begin your walks too!
