Hi Terry, It has been a day of strange co-incidences today - only this evening I was looking at Caen and thinking 'Eek, 'ow the 'eck am I going to manage that!' (I allus lose my aitches when I gets meself hexcited) and so I would really like to take you up on that, very kind offer, as I was aiming to meander slowly west out of Newbury from the beginning of July.
It would also be good to see the redoubtable 'Brian' at last, having been following the routes of 'Harnser' for so long. [As long as he doesn't get so embarrassed, by a not-very-shiny-at-the-moment nb bouncing off the banks behind him, that he dives into the nearest reed bed:) ] Whilst I'm here - I've recently bought a 'GEO' map for the K&A - but unfortunately I have found the print is rather too small for comfort - especially where the cartographers have attempted to put too much detail into too small a space. The scale is 1:53,750 - which is, very roughly, a little over an inch and a quarter to the mile - and I wondered whether the Nicholson's maps use a larger scale or are, in general terms, considered to be better. Do folk here have any preferred canal maps, or map books, which they could recommend perhaps - and I'm not 'just' thinking of the K&A, which is where I am starting from, but in more general terms across England and Wales. What do you normally use? Cheers, Trevor ............................................
