Does anyone if there are any shops in Keswick that sell these maps?
Don't fancy a detour to Kendal

try Needle sports
That running shop at the bottom, towards Booths, I think has some at the back where entries are?

What scale are these maps? There's one in the adverts that has a '1:25000' on it, are they all the same?
I don't think they are because I'm sure I have Wasdale and/or Ennerdale, and theyre on A4 same as the others I have.

as a sort of related side question.. are these maps good enough to pass kit checks?
They do pass kit checks - or the tiny number of checks I have been subjected to - but they are not as good as they could be. They are cluttered with contour lines and the race route is a very pale yellow which is at times difficult to see. The scale varies between 1:25,000 and 1:50,000. I prefer the Lakes Runner maps - far clearer.
I'd second that. The Pete Bland/Harvey race maps I've got are very densely packed with contour lines, although they are Ennerdale and Wasdale so maybe more to fit in. The Lakes Runner ones I've got are very simple and clear.
Free postage as well so maybe give them a call.

I didn't know lakesrunner did their own maps. You learn summat every day! Tell me more, are they specific fell race maps, more OS than Harveys, or what?
