As part of my HML consolidation i have a LOT of walking to do, today focused on using Harvey Maps
harvey mapsHarvey maps don’t include all the administrative ‘clutter’ that OS maps have to show (especially various administrative boundaries), they’re designed specifically for walkers / mountaineers / climbers etc. Yes, they take a little bit of adjusting to, and I still use the OS 1:25s when walking in the Brecon Beacons but that’s because I’m familiar with them. In Scotland I’ll take a Harvey over an OS any day. The scale of 1:40k is much more useful for Scottish hillwalking and as others have said, they show the topography much more clearly through the clever use of shading.
