I'd suggest the latter are a superior option to the actual map - cos for one, if I had to mess around with a folded OS map and a bloody mapcase in a howling gale, I'd never look at the damned thing.

My answer to that Zoot is that I don't know; sure as hell don't leave it until the morning of the race to find out as the fellsman kit check is the most detailed and closely scrutinised kit check in Christendom - they even check your fellshoes for worthyness and sufficient grip :eek:

Having just read the majority of this threat - My take on all this mapping stuff is - you must carry the OL 2 & 30. I will do exactly this, all wrapped up and stuck in my daysac. My navigation though will be from a selection of choice waterproofed colour photocopies with the leg notes etc annotated on it. As far as I am concerned - I am obeying the rules completely.

The following map combinations are acceptable:

• Ordnance Survey Landranger sheet 98

First Time I did it i used just the 98 Ha won't do that again.

The last two times I've had just one of the OL which does most of the route and 2 a4 sections of the bits that are missing Fleetmoss I think and this "got through" kit check. I was lucky I think but had all the maps in my hold all just in case.
