Hey
Does anyone know where I can get an A4 size OS map of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge route? Preferably one that will fit into a waterproof case.

Cheers

OL2 (Yorkshire Dales South) or alternatively Harveys Ultramap for Yorkshire Dales South West (at 1:40,000 and will fit in your pocket) cover the 3 peaks area, or are you looking for an actual route map?

In reply to Ridge:

Yeah I'm not after a full size OS map, just one I can easily glance at of the route (with some detail) A4 size.

Is this the Harveys map you recommended? https://www.harveymaps.co.uk/acatalog/Three-Peaks-Fell-Race-YHFRTP.html#SID...

This is the os 1:25000 map in book format, they're very well and designed and can fit in most jacket map pockets.

This is the one, although outside race day it would not be my preferred way of of ascending Pen-y-Ghent as it shows a dull out and back. More interesting to scale the south Ridge even if marginally slower.

I use QUO (https://www.mapyx.com/index.asp) mapping and buy "tiles" as I need them. The tiles cost £0.89/ea and you can print them from your PC in an A4 format. I laminate them (1:50k on one side and 1:25k on the reverse) - no need for a map case 

Or.....

Buy the OS map with a digital download and stick it on your phone. The real advantage is that GPS gives you your location making navigation easy.

Thanks for the replies guys. I completed the 3 peaks last weekend in 7h 49m

I mainly used the pro version of an app called Outdooractive which allows me to use the maps offline and has been awesome everytime i've used it. The Harveys map arrived in time before I set out for the challenge and seemed good quality but I didn't actually need it although it was safe knowing I had a backup.
