I found this site useful when plotting a walking route but its probably got a few uses for folks on here as well hopefully http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm
On the subject of maps, does anyone know how to get a realy close up OS type map, like an OS sitemap?
I might try a local friendly estate agent and ask them to do a 'Promap' but I hate paying for stuff !!
When I was on Where's the Path? I clicked on C (changes the map to 1940's. ) and found loads and loads and loads of collierys and railways on there all near to me. Just a shame that when I looked at the up to date satelite on thee, it was either fields, new roads, or housing estate.
It's an excellent website though, I keep losing track of time on there searching from the old to the new.
