Welcome to the ninth edition of this award losing website. On the web since 2000, this jolly little construction offers all its readers something for the weekend - and the weekdays too.
Look left for loads of stuff, personal and un-personal, as the site grows, including:
The Ordnance Survey Leisure Map summary lists. Updated every month for the discerning cartomaniac and list buffs. This project began about a decade ago with the data entered on to filing cards. Later is transformed into an AmiPro file [remember them?], and then finally an .htm version. It's well known enough now to be mentioned on the Cambridge University Map Library website.

I hope you find something of interest, and that your journey is worthwhile. Don't forget to wrap up warm!
