Hi all,

I hope I'm not violating the charter! I have some Landranger maps for
auction on ebay, The south of England and the Southwest of Wales.

If you are interested search on my username pdsteveo or search for item
2493140455 and then "look at sellers other items"

Later on I have a pile of Pathfinders to auction.

Who would want to buy old maps?

Anyone interested in researching rights of way.

Me. New landranger maps cost about 6 quid each, that's expensive if you
want a load of them. 7 year old maps are still useful for cycling.

7 year old maps are mere youngsters compared with most of mine. Median age
is probably around ten years, possibly older.

Most towns don't get up and move around. Things do appear (such as the M40
from Oxford which isn't on any of my Oxford maps) but in general, 7 years is
still perfectly serviceable.

Well roads don't change that fast. In fact come to think of it most of
my maps are that age or older and I still find they perfectly OK. So
why pay the new price if someone has them on offer cheap?

My twenty-year-old map of Snowdonia still seems correct. Snowdon
still in the same place, Glyder Fach not moved, no new peaks between
Carnedd Dafydd and Carnedd Llewellyn...

Exactly. And you can always get out the latest motoring atlas and
cross-check for new motorways blocking your path as part of your route
planning.

I think if you look carefully they have all moved a few mm in the past
20 years ;-)

Not relevant to 7yo maps, which I'd agree are perfectly fine, but twice now
I've had the pleasure of directing lost cyclists over the A65 Settle bypass
which isn't there on their map.

If you doing the same all walks over and over you probably don't even
need a map...

How many of those are there over the last 7 years?

I have a few that are 5-7 years old, thinking about it I can get my
hands of quite a few maps in the region of 10-20 years old, how much
will you pay for them?

I've got most of the ones I want but if you have any of Dorset or
thereabouts....

Put a list up here and I'm sure you'll find takers. I'm still using a
map that doesn't have the M6 at Preston - the first stretch of motorway
ever built - on it.
