    Re: learning BGR sections

    t'was in't pub t'other night when someone produced a "Harveys 'Bob Graham' Map" first time I've seen this but looks good with route notes on it.

    It show alternative routes but not all of my route.

    Any one else seen it yet?

    First time I've seen it.

    Looks like its just giving you an idea of where the route goes as the scale is too small that yellow line looks like its about 200m wide

    Doesn't show my way off the pike either

    Got shown this while in PB's last saturday - my first thought was 'oh no! why!?' but if you run a business then you look for business oppoirtunities.

    It shows 'a' line... and does not even attempt to show all the alternatives that exist along the route. If you don't know the area and need something to start out with then I guess why not. But I won't be buying one!!

    I've got the Borrowdale & Kentmere maps and (in my opinion) they're not that well marked either.

    What does it do with Thunacar / Sergeant Man / High Raise / Calf Crag sequence?

    I'm rarely on that section; what do people do? Going acw (!) last Sat we went TK - SM - HR - CC which seemed to work OK with a nice grassy descent off HR.

    Going anti clock do you come off High Raise down the gill to the north of Ash crags or the ones to the south of ash crags?
