Hi
I'm planning on going up to the lakes for a weekend sometime in September and walking (with my non-running partner) a couple of the Lakeland Classics routes with a view to running them next year. Is it worth getting hold of the race maps? Are they useful in terms, for example, of showing best lines? Do people use them? Or are they just a money-making gimmick?
Also, there seem to be 2 competing versions, those available from Lakes Runner and the Pete Bland/Harvey ones. Any views on which are best?
