Wild Walks _ north is "up"

North is at the top of the Wild Walks maps in the latest issue!! Has anybody else been squirming at the sight of maps with north to the right for the past few years?

After a while I found that by turning the mag anticlockwise through 90 deg you could rectify this small inconvenience ;)

Actually I was just going to say how great it is to see OS maps on the Wild Walks pages. I guess they're north up because the place names are. Course it does mean a minor compromise with the layout. We'll have to concentrate on walking long east - west routes to make both camps happy.

"Course it does mean a minor compromise with the layout." .... Ian

But that was just the problem wasn't it - a triumph of style over design.

Interesting point, although you could argue that style is part of the design - esp. in today's world.
