In a first for an outdoors website, Walkhighlands now features OS Explorer 1:25,000 mapping for every walk. This is the best-selling scale with field boundaries, walls and fences all marked. The maps can be viewed online or printed and they have the walk route clearly marked.
In order to access this new scale you do need to be a registered Walkhighlands user. The registration process is simple and also gives you access to Walkhighlands’ popular Walk Talk forum with the ability to add your own walk reports. To register click here and press Register in top right hand corner. You will receive our monthly newsletter but can opt out of this by clicking a link at the bottom at any time.
To view the mapping go to a walk description and click view map – the map will either open in 1:50,000 or 1:25,000 depending on the length of the walk. On longer walks you will need to zoom in by pressing the plus sign to see the 1:25,000 mapping.
The addition of Explorer mapping to Walkhighlands has been sponsored by Quo, the leading free digital mapping software – so many thanks! The mapping on Walkhighlands is intended as an addition to carrying a full map of the area and has the advantage of having the route marked on so you can use it to plan and fully enjoy your time in the outdoors safely.
