Thanks for the heads up. Not very good at following them (you may be surprised to hear) but I do love maps

Seen that myself , it's often repeated. They must took some work and time to draw up, love browsing over a map or atlas.

Cool. When I was a kid I used to be in the Ribble Enthusiasts Club, loved visiting the bus depots. Got chased out of a few too!

 

Maps are boss. I love studying maps looking for traces of roman roads which are quite easy to spot where a modern road has been built on top of them by the arrow straight sections. Its an eye opener how many you can spot.

 

Love looking at old railways line maps too. All those closed branch lines where the cut is still visible.

Thanks for posting those, Mocte.

I hate looking at maps as it reminds me of all the great places Ive never been nor will ever go to.

I found myself getting drawn into that in a tranquil way. I'm bookmarking it as It'll also come in handy for planing cycling days at short notice.
