The A-Z Adventure series features the accuracy and quality of Ordnance Survey's 1:25000 mapping in a convenient book, therefore eliminating the need to fold and re-fold a large sheet map to the desired area.
The 1:25000 is Ordnance Survey's most detailed mapping showing public rights of way, open access land, national parks, tourist information, car parks, public houses and camping and caravan sites.
Increasingly popular, the National Three Peaks is considered to be one of the ultimate walking challenges in the UK; the objective being to climb the highest mountains in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon).
The A-Z National Three Peaks Adventure Atlas is indispensable on and off the hill with 80 pages packed full of useful information, including:
Essential planning and safety guidance
OS 1:25000 mapping covering routes to each peak
Both suggested and alternative routes highlighted on the map
Route descriptions
Start points and parking details
Recommended kit list
A-Z road mapping at 3.5 miles to 1 inch for travelling between peaks
QR code access to a broad range of helpful web sites including weather reports, map reading, official bodies and safety information
OS 1:25000 map index to natural features and locations with both page references and six figure National Grid References
AZ road map index to cities, towns and villages
As a single publication this Adventure Atlas avoids the need to purchase multiple maps and, with a book size of 240mm x 134mm, is the same size as the standard folded OS map, making it perfect for map pockets.
The A-Z National Three Peaks Adventure Atlas is the sensible choice for those attempting the challenge and once completed, you will have a great sense of achievement.

Geographers' Map Company Ltd. (A-Z Maps) was established in London on 25 August 1936. The company's most famous publication, the iconic A-Z Atlas and Guide to London, was created by Phyllis Pearsall, the founder of A-Z, who explored every street in London to create the first edition. Since then, A-Z has become the trusted source for street maps and atlases, as well as developing Visitors' Guides, Road Atlases and the Adventure Map series for walkers.
