Those dedicated few who avidly follow our occasional posts may remember that back in March 2025 we asked for advice on how to organise our map collection — by number, usage, or geography.

In the end, we went with Tonus Boomer 's suggestion on Facebook: number order, with a wall poster showing which map you need. 🗺️ We also took on board Phill Monk’s advice and added labels.

We put the system in place last year and have just updated it again after our 2026 map audit — as the collection shifts around a bit as numbers wax and wane!

After 7 hours of walking with a full pack (and just a little commentary about how far there was left to go)… what better way to relax than a 3-hour game of football? ⚽🎒😅
