UltraMap XT40 – North York Moors West Harvey Maps Cheap

Harvey Maps says

Covers a large area yet is handily compact. Pocket perfect!

Detailed map for runners and walkers of the western section of the North York Moors National Park at the magic scale of 1:40,000.

Includes the popular Hambleton Hills and Cleveland Hills. Roseberry Topping, Sutton Bank and the White Horse.

The Lyke Wake Walk is marked.

Our Verdict

Harvey’s UltraMap XT40 Maps are perfect for anyone wanting a practical and durable map to cover large areas without the need for 1:25,000 level detail. The Harvey Maps use light, waterproof paper so they are much easier to use and store than traditional paper or laminated maps. I moved over to Harvey Maps a few years ago and love using them for the weight, slim profile and waterproof nature as they are much more practical to use out on the hill. The UltraMap XT40 series is perfect for longer distances when fastpacking and running.

Due to the size of the map and the 1:40,000 scale I wouldn’t take this to somewhere new where I would need to do a lot of navigation relying upon the map but for picking out general features or use as a quick reference this is hard to beat. If you haven’t used Harvey Maps before they are different to OS maps but key features and symbols are easily understood and you soon get used to them.
