My current hobby project is a watch/iPhone app to create a private journal of your travels by logging your location in the background. Today I added Ordnance Survey maps as an alternative to Apple Maps, and was surprised at how easy it was — a few hours work at most. #watchos #swiftui #OSMaps
In the afternoon of the first full day in #BannauBrycheiniog, we travelled to #Crickhowell or #Crughywel to climb #TableMountain, which is also the location of an #IronAge #fort. So, equipped with my #OrdnanceSurveyMap we made steady progress up the slopes, on #roads and then #footpaths, often across #farmland. The total walk was 12.5 km.
Approaching the summit, you can see that the area is covered with #ferns.

26/04/2023 - Just looking at maps this evening. I didn't much fancy going out for a walk after tea. It looked cold and a bit wet out there.
Anybody know why there's somewhere called 'Isle of Man Plantation' in the middle of Wark Forest in Northumberland, UK? About 1km west of Stonehaugh, OS Grid Ref: NY 78083 75784.
Maybe owned by IoM government or something? 🤷♂️
Zoom in on this:

24/03/2023 - I like an OS map. The 1:50,000 discovery series from Ordnance Survey Ireland are nice. A bit of a test for my rubbish eyesight as they are on the small size but good for making plans.
