They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSULATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid & heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof & do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers & retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles & descriptions follow the definitions provided above.

Jon Sparks’ Cicerone guide to The Lancashire Cycleway is the first comprehensive guide dedicated to cycling in the north-west of Britain. Lancashire is an ideal place to cycle & cycling is a great way to explore the county. There is easy riding on the flat expanses in the west & gentle undulations of the Ribble Way. More exacting challenges are available in the West Pennine Moors & the epic crossing of the Bowland Fells. Despite these remote wildernesses, there are various pubs & accommodation available at each stage of the route. The Cycleway comprises two distinct loops, each around 130 miles in length & meeting at Whalley in the Ribble valley. The guide is organized into two main sections
- the Northern & Southern Loops
- & is suitable for both experienced & casual cyclists. Seasoned cycle tourists can tackle either loop in a weekend, or try to do the whole route in a week. More casual cyclists can also easily complete short sections a day at time, aided by regular access from local railways. There is also helpful advice for those new to cycling or cycle-touring in the extensive introduction. Detailed route descriptions are accompanied by Ordnance Survey extracts mapping the route as well as colour photographs depicting some of the delights of the route.
