The A-Z Adventure series features the accuracy and quality of the OS 1:25000 mapping in a convenient book, complete with index.
The A-Z Adventure series is an innovative concept that utilises Ordnance Survey Explorer mapping in a book, therefore eliminating the need to fold and re-fold a large sheet map to the desired area. OS 1:25000 is Ordnance Survey's most detailed mapping, showing public rights of way, open access land, national parks, tourist information, car parks, public houses and camping and caravan sites.
Unlike the original OS sheets, this A-Z Adventure Atlas includes a comprehensive index to towns, villages, hamlets and locations, natural features, nature reserves, car parks and youth hostels, making it quick and easy to use. Each index entry has a page reference and a six figure National Grid Reference. At a book size of 240mm x 134mm it is the same size as the standard folded OS map.

Starting in Edale, Derbyshire, the walk covers 431km (268 miles) and passes through the Yorkshire Dales, over Hadrian's Wall and through the Northumberland National Park to finish in Kirk Yetholm, just inside the Scottish Borders.
