Free online mapping service from the BHS

BHS has now launched its Imagin service which gives online maps of the whole country, plus ‘vetted’ circular routes produced by horse riders.

http://www.emagin.org/Routes_by_region/East.aspx

choose the route you want, choose the tab with 1:250000, scroll around and use the print option in your browser to print the route in sections.  There will be more info added to the route in time I believe.

You can now effectively print any area of the country 1:250000 with the ROW on it, for free!!!!

As this database builds it will be a fantastic opportunity for horse riders and non-riders alike.

Note, thanks to the huge effort Ann Kennedy put in when she produced the Bedfordshire on Horseback series our region has more maps than anyone else so far!!

Vikki Barratt has volunteered to be a mapping volunteer, collecting routes.  They will not appear straight away as they need to be verified.

Please have a look, pass on the info, and if you know of businesses who might want to advertise let them know.  Also please tell me of any circular routes you know of, esp. if you can say where to park.  I also have the support of Lets Go for publishing routes, where we can add more info about the route, such as a ‘talk round’, historical facts or whatever…

Vikki would love feedback on how you feel about this new resource.  email her by clicking here.
