    When my hsband swam the English channel we got a map with his route plotted on it from the Channel Swimmers and Pilots association
    something like http://swimlong.com/blog/Channel%20Map.jpg
    We got it framed for the wall at home. I recently ran from Malin Head to Mizen Head and I was hoping to do something similar with a map of Ireland for the M2M run. I had a look in easons and on the osi website and can't seem to find a map that would work. I guess it needs to be about a metre on the long side and have all the roads marked.

    Would anyone have a suggestion. would one of those collins fold out maps be the best option? I know I'll have to plot the gps data onto it myself.

    Thanks.

    Similiar question, I'm looking for a largish map of the world for my wall. Ikea have one but it's a little bit too large, maybe half the size of the Ikea one. And under half the price!

    Not sure exactly what you're looking for HM but the natl. geographic do specialty maps

    WS, you should find some great world maps here.

    There is one problem though. They only ship to USA and Canada. I managed to get round this by having it sent to a relative in USA and then they sent it to me by Fed EX

    God your nuts doing that much exercise how could you even do that. You could probably swim between kintyre and here its only 10 miles, it looks while calm as well but its probably not infact as you get closer to the water from the cliffs you realise its not so calm!? it looks like 2 miles as well, i actually can't beleive that it was 10 miles
