This one is for scale 1:50 000<br /><br />http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/docs/legends/50k-raster-legend.pdf<br /><br />Or if you want another scale look here, also links for abreviations.<br /><br />http://www.magazine.ordnancesurveyleisure.co.uk/magazine/map-symbols.html<br /><br />I'm just about to decide which route to take for my next walk, from Morecambe to the Humber Bridge, to begin on 11th April. I have been dithering over which way to go, because there is so much to see in North Yorkshire. I'm not booking any accommodation except for the first night, and my route will change during the walk. <br /><br />Please let me know when you will be closest to me when you are in the UK, I am near Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire. I would like to meet up with you, even though it may only be for a few hours.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-72066292773789543382012-03-31T22:42:08.240+01:002012-03-31T22:42:08.240+01:00Great walk as always!

I feel more vulnerable in a city centre. <br /><br />I am happy to wander alone through the countryside, most of it is big wide open spaces where I can see for miles. I take sensible precautions of always looking around me, checking behind to see if there is anyone following me.Meanqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705837426373680532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-63120240249327877502012-03-31T20:15:08.048+01:002012-03-31T20:15:08.048+01:00The photo of the gated community is too Americanis...The photo of the gated community is too Americanish for my taste, very Stepford Wives.Sals Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07983803420404095685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-21479286725566551502012-03-31T19:44:25.933+01:002012-03-31T19:44:25.933+01:00We are lucky to live in beautiful Lincolnshire Ilo...We are lucky to live in beautiful Lincolnshire Ilona.

I wouldn't want to live there either in that Big Brother way. It's bad enough with all the CCTV watching you in UK towns these days, but not when you get home as well!
