For UK hiking, Ordnance Survey (OS) Explorer 1:25k (orange cover) and Harvey Superwalker 1:25k/1:40k maps are ideal. OS Explorer offers detailed topography and rights of way, while Harvey maps highlight boggy areas and less-marked trails. Both brands provide waterproof versions for durability.
Yes, GPS devices (e.g., Garmin GPSMAP 67i) or watches (e.g., Garmin Fenix) enhance safety by providing real-time tracking, offline navigation, and SOS features. They reduce reliance on phone batteries and serve as reliable backups in remote areas.
The 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250m) is optimal for detail, showing footpaths, streams, and elevation. For broader coverage, 1:50,000 (OS Landranger) balances readability and area size. Harvey’s 1:40k is a middle ground for longer routes.
Yes, OS Explorer Active laminated maps resist rain and tearing, ideal for frequent use. However, they’re heavier than standard versions. For wet climates, waterproof Harvey or OS maps are more durable.
