Watch out Brian, it seems there's plenty of us here, and we're gaining in numbers all the time.
I can feel a COF ride out coming on soon. . . . . . ..

I think you’ll find I did :mrgreen:

Anyhooo.....I’m with you on the paper map thing. Satnags have their uses sure but I love planning out a route on a real map. Michelin maps have the green routes (scenic) I’ve got quite a pile of them for regions in France :)):

Dare I say it Smiler, I think you may be turning into a curmudgeonly young fart =:)

I too have a collection of Michelin maps. We used to spend hours with them planning our trips to France back in the day......

Run. Run to the hills whilst life is still worth living. I pity you when next spotted by Sheila =)) =))

I've always preferred the IGN maps for France (French OS equivalent) and have marked up copies going back to the late eighties ..... Interesting to look at now, with hardly any autoroutes west of Paris .....
