Buying for a walker?

Mountain Energy will practice their skills on the Ordnance Survey SplashMap

2 great examples of the Ordnance Survey’s 1:25k were produced for projects. Is there any better mapping in the world? With a personalised title at the top and centred on the most significant place to that person (in this case a project’s focus, but for you perhaps a known hiking destination or the place they’ve just moved to). These maps contain the information most would agree as essential for a reliable walk or run plus the intriguing detail of historic battles, sites of interest, tourist information and an attention to rock shapes unparalleled in the world! The ideal gifts anywhere for walkers in the UK.

Buying for a cyclist?

Looking to inspire?

karakorum-splashmap

Sergiu’s Karakorum map inspires study of Glaciation

A map is the ideal gift when looking to inspire. The unusual and tortured land forms in a glacial valley can pique the interest of anyone gazing upon an established U-shaped valley. A map of the most remote area of Mozambique is a healthy reminder that untouched areas need to be preserved. Perhaps looking at these perception changing maps can bring out the explorer in all of us?

Extraordinary places, exceptional conditions

Sally Bingham, “Iron Sally”, Women’s MTB Champion discovered SplashMaps this week

We realise that not everyone will traverse the Namibian deserts following a SplashMap. But by designing the maps to work in these extraordinary places and survive those exceptional conditions, we’ve encompassed the needs of the widest group. By carefully marrying our map styles and materials and offering a range of variations and upgrades, ours is the most tailored gift anywhere this Christmas.
