Since I purchased our Garmin GPSr I have always relied on the Garmin Great Britain TOPO maps to “show us the way”. This however, isn’t the only option for maps on our handheld GPSr’s. There is a free option – Open Street Map. Map options Garmins come with a worldwide basemap installed. An example of the base map - No footpaths There are the Garmin TOPO Great Britain maps. The Garmin TOPO maps - Some footpaths, minor roads, forests, etc. Next we have the option of GB Discoverer 1:50K maps. An example of 1:50k maps So, what if you haven’t got any additional maps?

FREE British Isles, UK and Ireland Maps Home (talkytoaster) The Mary Towneley Loop. Welcome to The Mary Towneley Loop, a (47 mile) circular route which forms part of the Pennine Bridleway National Trail. The loop can be accessed at any point you like, but for this description I started the ride in the Rossendale Valley and the small town of Waterfoot.

First you climb very steeply out of Waterfoot to meet an historic route, the "Grovey" Rooley Moor Road that straddles the hills above Rochdale and Ramsbottom. "It was built with stone sets to provide work during the cotton famine in the 1860's. " North of Rochdale, the route passes over open moorland close to Brown Wardle and Watergrove Reservoir, then onto Calderbrook. The Trail then follows an old packhorse route from Bottomley to Erringdon with stunning views across the Calder Valley. After brilliant hack along the flanks of stoodley pike you descend near the historic town of Hebden Bridge. The climb out of The Hebden Gorge is cruel, but has to be done. The best map for the route is O/S Explorer 21. in Waterfoot. 8Summit.
