” Barrows Boy`s” records the history of British exploration in the first half of the 19th century, examining events in the Arctic, Antarctic, Australia & West Africa. Fleming dusts down the surreal & unrepeatable adventures of a host of remarkable individuals. Behind all of the events lies Sir John Barrow, who provided the inspiration, drive & support for these expeditions. The book begins with disaster, when an expedition is wiped out in Africa, & wanders through tragedy & triumph to end with another disaster, when an expedition is wiped out in the Arctic. Everything about the expeditions is wrong. The orders, ships, supplies, methods & funding are incorrect & even the results are worthless (The Antarctic turned out to be a hostile lump of ice, Northern Australia was far too inhospitable to become a second Singapore & Timbuctoo proved to be just a collection of mud huts). Yet Barrow`s legacy is hugely important
- such was his influence that Roald Amundsen cited Barrow as an inspiration. Fleming`s accounts are thoroughly researched & vividly told in an entertaining, blackly comic style ensuring that the book remains absolutely compelling.

Topographic coverage of mainland Spain at 1:50, 000 in the MTN50 (Mapa Topográfico Nacional) series from the Centro Nacional de Información Geografica, the country’s civilian survey organization. The maps have contours at 20m intervals, enhanced by relief shading, plus colouring and/or graphics to show different types of terrain, vegetation or land use. Boundaries of national parks & other protected areas are marked. In addition to all the usual information featured on topographic mapping at this scale, detailed presentation of the road & rail networks, rural tracks & paths, etc, the maps also show campsites & mountain refuges. On more recent editions some GRs, the official long-distance hiking routes, are also marked (although not as clearly as on hiking maps from other publishers). Each map covers 29.5x 18.5 km (with adjustments in the border or coastal areas). The maps have a 1-km UTM grid, plus margin ticks for latitude & longitude at 1` intervals. Map legend is in Spanish only.HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT 50K MAP: all the titles in CNIG’s 200K Provincial Road Maps series at 1:200, 000 are overprinted with the grid for the 1:50, 000 maps & can be used to see the area covered by each 50K title.

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
