Laminated waterproof edition of a detailed topographic map from the Ordnance Survey Explorer series, covering Llanelli. Edition A3: Publication date December 2011 About this series: These highly detailed maps show all the administrative boundaries, settlements as small as isolated farms, the road network down to unfenced roads & country tracks, & field boundaries (hedges & drystone walls) which make navigation across the countryside much easier. Steep gradients on roads are indicated. Various landmarks, e.g. powerlines, archaeological sites, windmills, churches & lighthouses are shown & additional graphics indicate natural terrain features such as cliffs, scree, mud & vegetation variations. The contour interval is 5 metres in the lower parts of the country & 10 metres in the uplands, & spot heights are marked. Each map covers an area of 30 x 20km (i.e. approx. 19 x 12 miles), with some double-sided maps covering more, as indicated in the individual descriptions. The maps are fully GPS compatible, with the National Grid shown at 1km intervals & latitude & longitude indicated by margin ticks at 1'. The Explorer series has replaced the earlier, green-cover Pathfinder maps. The Explorer series is now complete & covers all of Engl&, Wales & Scotl&. Some sheets for popular areas like the National Parks are still branded as Outdoor Leisure (OL) maps, but are now included in this series as the cartography is the same as that in the Explorer Maps.

This is a selective rock climbing guide to the Gower peninsula in South Wales. Gower Rock aims to showcase the depth & quality of rock climbing on this wild, beautiful yet somewhat unknown peninsula. The area contains a wide variety of climbing on an enticing array of venues. On some routes you can step straight off golden sands onto classic lines; in other cases you can send your way across peaceful cliff-top paths before dropping into some pretty demanding terrain just a stone`s throw from ice-cream-scoffing tourists & pastoral picnic spots. The magnificent areas of Fall Bay & Three Cliffs have enough classic routes to keep you busy on many visits to the peninsula. The sport crags of Southgate compliment & add variety to the well-established hard routes of Oxwich & Pwlldu. The selection of venues & climbs included in this guide will provide plenty of adventure for all climbers, among some of the best scenery in the UK. In 1956 the Gower peninsula was designated as the UK`s first Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty (AONB). Any visitor to the area will see why: it is packed full of stunning beaches & welcoming villages & provides a breath-taking backdrop to numerous outdoor activities including surfing & paragliding. There are miles of fantastic coastal paths to walk along (a perfect way to explore the many treats of the peninsula) & copious amounts of climbing. Stuart Llewellyn is a passionate climber, new router & local enthusiast. His dedication to the local climbing community through the BMC has not only enhanced access & support locally, but increased the area`s national presence with the creation of the Gower Climbing Festival, the first step to the creation of this very guide. With the release of this book, & a step back from local climbing politics, Stuart is set to once again climb the rock, not just talk & write about it... Matt Woodfield is a climbing instructor who works locally; teaching, instructing & taking people on adventures. Soon after moving to Swansea to study at the University in 2002 Matt turned his passion for climbing to a profession & has never looked back. He enjoys nothing more than getting out on rock with people & helping them develop their skills, confidence & experience. ...
