What I mean is that it's covered in really interesting and witty comments -- to some of the best places to visit in the UK. For example, it quotes one of the greatest British comedians, Billy Connolly, with these words which are used as a subtle kind of slogan: "Windswept and interesting,"
Here's an example: the blurb on the River Thames ends with this strange fact: the record for sailing a paper boat down the Thames, a distance of 160 miles, was held for 383 years until it was broken in 2003.
What's brilliant about this map is that it's a kind of guidebook to the land but in a format that is both old-fashioned and highly visual. No more flicking back to the map as one does with a real guidebook. And it's much nicer than the online versions where one ends up flicking around like crazy. All the texts/blurbs are in little boxes that point into the specific area.
The publisher deserves credit for hiring a brilliant writer and editor. It may well be the same person.
I'm going to use it to cycle round the UK. Although I'll be using my phone App for on-the-ground directions I will refer to this map when planning the next day trip; and I find it really useful to get an overview of where you are in the country as the SatNav version just gives you a very close view -- and zooming out isn't as satisfying.
I will also be buying more copies in the future as it's an ideal gift. It would look good framed, mounted and hung on a wall.
It's got some funny ideas for things to do and places to go, such as a black pudding throwing contest but doesn't seem to have National Trust Properties. It names all the beaches in Cornwall, so that will be really handy in summer.
I live in the North West of England and judging by the map, there's nothing to do and it's all greyed out. Obviously not a fair reflection because it doesn't even mention the pie n mash shop in Cleveleys.
Makes a quirky present and a nice map to base Google searches on for day trips.
It has been invaluable when travelling on holidays. The reason is that it includes all the places of interest not just garages, hotels and names of towns, but beaches, woods, trails and other places of interest that really enhance travelling around. It is made on durable paper and is brightly coloured so everything is easy to see. There are also bits of information you just don't get on the satnav. Adventure indeed. I recommend this to everyone who gets out of their house.
Looking forward to using it in the warmer months.
