If it's for the trip I suspect: Michelin 1:200000 (yellow) #53 (old - poss discontinued) Michelin Local 1:150000 (also yellow) #306 For a general clue re: your whereabouts, either Michelin or Collins 1:1000000. The Collins one was free, iirc. There's always Garmin, of course. -- | ___ Salad Dodger |/ \ _/_____\_ GL1500SEV/CBR1100XXX/KH500A8/TS250C |_\_____/_| ..73850../..18203.../..3184./.19406 (>|_|_|<) TPPFATUICG#7 DIAABTCOD#9 YTC#4 PM#5 |__|_|__| BOTAFOT #70 BOTAFOF #09 two#11 WG* \ |^| / IbW#0 & KotIbW# BotTOS#6 GP#4 \|^|/ ANORAK#17 IbB#4 '^' RBR Landmarks: 5 Pts: 90 Miles: 455

I like the AA/IGN too, although I've got a few Michelins lying around. I also take an "all of France in one indigestible lump" map such as Britney Fairies et al hand out FOC. If I'm going to an area that I have duplicate maps for, I'll bring them along, as I appear to be related to a cartography muppet... I likes maps, I do.
Talking of which, have you thought of anywhere to go on the Saturday?

Yes. And you still got lost looking for the road out of Cambrai. Actually, I was just trying to get you to go to sleep without filling the bath...
Verdun, or various war bits is the obvious. I was considering lunch in Luxembourg. If we did a roundabout route, through Belgium into Germany and then to Luxembourg, we could piss people off with throw-away remarks about "four countries before lunch".
Thanks. Now just need to find out where it is we are actually trying to get to. -- jeremy '02 Fazer 600 in blue _______________________________________ jeremy at hireserve dot com
Took you a few goes, too! ;-P Ha! Nowt stopping you sodding off to your own room [1] was there? ;-) Actually, I'm surprised I didn't drop off fairly rapidly, after getting outside of rather a lot of the very inexpensive and very large glasses of JD.

Looks like I'll be on interesting roads. *Other* interesting roads... Modom has looked at the map and declared that we shall be trundling up the Meuse, looking at the scenery...
