A Cautionary tale:
This was the state of the A4 PC printed digital map
at the end of the wet walk.
On days like this keep them sealed in a poly-pocket, or laminate them,
or use the waterproof paper that is now available.

Don't panic though . . .I always carry the original O.S. 1:25k big
map hidden deep in the rucksack.
It helps with checking out long distance views and when taking long
distance compass sightings . . .
oh yes . . . and coping safely with wet days !
