I need some maps which will show even farms…mainly in south and west Wales. Somebody did suggest Philip’s. Would that be the Philip’s Street Atlas series? Or would you advise purchasing something else?
I think you want the Philips Navigator map of the UK. I’d also buy a truckers atlas for weight limits and bridge heights or have a satnav with them on.
Google Earth shows everything; even the evergrowing pile of dead prostitutes in my back garden.
Ordinance survey maps show just about all the farms in the country, just get the ones for the areas you need.
My Philips Navigator map shows lots of farms, also Philips Street Atlases are very good - the county ones are best. However, they are not all on as I have discovered.

But what about when you’re in the middle of the Bhundu without access to the internet?
I do a lot of farms and cant remember the last time i used anything but my phone satnav
Thank you all for your map advice. I’ll take a closer look.

If you use a phone satnav, what kind of download limit would you need if you were using it a few times everyday?
Ive found the Philips Navigator as good as any (and we do a lot of farms ) clear and concise, they arnt perfect ,but a lot better than relying on sat navs , google ect . I would say that a combination of the Philips Maps and google has always served us well.
I just use 3 unlimited mobile data

He can back - track to civilisation by following his trail of dead prostitutes…

Ordnance Survey Landranger maps, they are a bugger the way they are folded. But even show contour lines, handy for knowing steep hills near farms.
often the best thing to do is phone the farmer, he will give you directions

+1. But also, a lot of them show a historical name, rather than then modern/current name you are looking for. Which can be most helpful

100% agree.
Don’t get a Philips Navigator and Truckers atlas as the Trucker one is a Navigator but with height/width/weak bridges on.
I like the Philips county ones, most farms are on but uninhabited ones (but still a farm) are just a shaded square. If I pass these on my travels I write the name on, plus on any weight limits I see. I mark on old stations etc, anything that might assist me or if I give someone directions.
I don’t think many farmers sit by the phone all day. And I can’t imagine many of the ones I know carrying around a mobile either. But I agree, it’s worth giving them a call as the wife might well be around…unless she’s gone shopping/feeding the arnimals or whatever?

Just follow the smell of decomposing flesh.
