    to print off the sections I need but I was wondering if there is a quicker and easier way

    Cheers

    Pendle Cloughs you get a colour 1:25000 scale of the course with CP's GR and cut off times and a plastic bag to put it in.

    not neccessarily, they may have paid a fee to produce the maps?

    I do know of a club further South that had maps of routes on their website for printing out who were contacted about breaking a license agreement.

    I guess these days it's so easy to copy a map off so many sites that it would be difficult to say who was in breach?

    if the numbers are waterproof as they should be then print the route on the back of the number and then if you get lost rip the number off and you have a map.
