Does anyone have this. ?
Is it worth the 6 quid. ?
I'm pretty "up" on most of the sites as it's been my hobby now for a good 15 years, does this map add anything to your knowledge.
Is there stuff on there that's not on the normal Os maps. ?
I know it's only 6 quid but is it worth it, that's almost the price of the fuel to visit one of my local sites again. !

Buy it, it's well worth the money. I certainly didn't know all the sites on it and it's well categorized into periods (colour coded icons).

My father kindly bought me a copy. I think what's really good about it is that you can see all the sites in relation to each other. It's not like grappling with 20 os maps on the carpet, or guessing with a road atlas. I think I had some fairly ropey ideas about where some places really were (still do I admit).

I think you should get one and stick it up on the back of a door somewhere. You can always tippex out the roman sites if they offend.
