for one centre holidays
Dear Medina and Karen, at last a very belated but absolutely HUGE THANK YOU for the wonderful trip across Wales, It all feels like a long time ago now.............But I do want to say thank you. It was a really fabulous holiday , made perfect by the planning, attention to detail and excellent leadership that you both brought to it. I felt safe and cared for as well as challenged and respected. Thank you both hugely. It was wonderful to re-live it all with the photos. I like the ones with one black ear in them best and I loved remembering Karen peering back with a grin and a camera to get the shots of the back of the ride.....what a wonderful time. Did I say thank you? Ah well, I expect you guessed that is what I wanted to say. Bless you both and here's to the next time.
lots of love Viv (and thank you)
Be honest about your skills- how is your map reading?
Its a different experience whether you choose to navigate yourself or ride with a guide. We offer both options and hopefully our Navigation Tips will be useful for you whether you ride with Your horse Adventures or not.
Enjoy
Be sure to get the map that is 'fit for purpose' with the level of detail you need!
There are different types of mapping in the UK, Ordnance survey being the most widely used:
Landrangers (Pink) or 1:50000
Explorers (Orange) 1:25000
The scale tells you how much the land has been scaled down to fit on the paper. If it is 1:50000 then everything on the map will be 50000 times smaller than it is in reality.
Explorer maps consequently have much more detail (such as fence boundaries) than the landrangers ... perfect if you are counting boundaries before your next change in direction on an un-waymarked route!
The key symbols differ between the different map scales: for example a public right of way on an Explorer is green and on a Landranger it is red!
It important to note that footpaths marked in black are not necessarily public rights of way!
We always ride with 1:25000 mapping and would not recommend anyone rode with anything less detailed. For our self-guided riders we provide you with 1:25000 marked routes.
