www.guidepost.uk.com maps, books and gifts for the outdoor enthusiast.

New books are a bit thin in the ground, but we do have a few choice titles, along with some new additions to the Guidepost website, and a couple of special offers.

Bridgedale Endurance Trekker Walking Socks – buy one pair, get another half price. This offer is back by popular demand – we have both men’s and women’s styles, and you can mix and match men’s / women’s / sizes / colours

Half Price Digital Mapping – now includes 1:25,000 OS maps
The half price offer on Anquet digital mapping has been extended, so now includes 1:50,000 scale Landranger full- and half-country products, both 1:50,000 and 1:25,000 regional products, and single sheet Explorer maps, which are now just £14.46. These prices will only be available for the next two weeks.

OS maps
We have permanently lowered the prices of our paper OS maps, and continue to offer 30% discount on orders of ten or more maps from the same series and in the same format (ie paper or laminated).

The Ordnance Survey are no longer going to publish road maps, and have discontinued many of the tour maps – we do still have stock of most of these, but once that has gone, there will be no more.
