maps

Hi,

I recently picked up a small map of Thetford forest on cycling trip.
It is only a basic map with roads and tree areas on, no contors or grid lines.
Each group of trees has a number on the map.
On the ground, at each intersection of paths you can see a tree in each group has a number painted on.
This is great for locating your exact position, as you just need to find where the next path crosses your path, and read the numbers on the trees, and Bobs your uncle.
I guess they are made to aid in the identifcation for the felling of trees.

Unfortuneatly, this cycle map only covers a small area of Thetford forest, and I would like one like this for the rest of the forest as well.
Anyone know where I might get one?

Thanks for the help.

Mabey I should try asking in another section of the forum?

Maybe phone or pop into the local FC office ?

Personally I would use an OS and Flash Earth print off as a you will get correct details of features eg streams, fire breaks and contours.

Thanks for the link Martink9.
That is the map I'm refering to, of High lodge and the cycleing routes.
Although it doesn't have contors or gid lines, it does have the numbers of EVERY group of trees, which even the 1:25 000 OS map doesn't show.

The thing I like about the cycle map is that no mater which cross roads you stand at, you only need check the numbers on the trees at the corners of group, and it's possable to tell exacly where you are. Hence wanting a map that has all the numbers of all the groups of trees.

What I'm really after, is a map of the whole of Thetford forest, that has all the tree numbers on, as the cycle map I have has only a small part of the forest on.
