French IGN maps do not have the square as they do in the UK to read grid references. Even if I work for @Visorando walking app @Philippa’s Navigation Essentials courses was incredibly valuable. GPS is great for our walking toolbox but it won't replace a good paper map & leader!

#OTD 12 June 1939 George Orwell's 'Coming Up For Air' was published. This, and other Orwell works, feature on our 'Literary Hitchhikes' around #Henley. Discover more... 😉 #VisitChilterns #Literature #GeorgeOrwell #VisitHenley #MakingMemories #EscapeTheEveryday
