I've done quite a bit of hiking and camping in a the last few years, the most recent being a 10 day hike down the south coast of cornwall.I am now seriously looking into a very long planned expedition through england, into central wales and then maybe up to scotland. I expect to be made redundent soon and am frankly looking for a way of getting out of the city and living 'off grid' if you will. Hiking and wild camping for as long as i can. I have numerous reasons for doing this but am aware that this is a a much larger undertaking then anything i've done before. Are their any areas where i could i could camp undisturbed for a number of days? So much of our countryside is owned by various farmers/landowners or set aside as national parks where i do not think my presence would be overly welcome, and i do not wish to get in anyones way. I'd welcome any suggested routes, destinations of note or advice for a long trip. I'd be a bit like a modern hobo but without the borderline insanity i hope. Any suggestions would be greatfully received, as i'm trying to flesh out this idea. I was wondering if you could give my some advice.

The accuracy of the map outlines is as good as the original low resolution image will allow, just remember that if your route just clips the corner of a map for instance, or meanders close to a map border, it would be worth checking the actual paper maps before buying. The conversion of images to maps is described in the MM Help File under 'Self-scan maps'. It's quite straightforward once you get used to it but I very rarely have the need, in fact the grid maps are the only examples so far. Thanks John.

Perfect for finding which Landranger numbers are needed for the TGO Challenge. I wonder if anybody else is interested in how Geoff has converted an image into a map? I can't help thinking the ability to do that would be interesting and useful. John Geoff, once again I’m in awe of you. Perfect for finding which Landranger numbers are needed for the TGO Challenge.
