The northern section of the Blue Ridge Parkway & the surrounding area of the Appalachian Mountains on a double-sided map at 1:135, 000 approx. from Outdoor Paths Publishing highlighting facilities along the route. The map covers the first part of the Parkway, from Milepost 0 to 123. Topography of the area is shown by relief shading based on the satellite imagery, with names & heights of numerous peaks & icons highlighting waterfalls. Boundaries of the Blue Ridge Parkway lands & other public lands are marked. The route is annotated with mile posts & shows access to the Parkway from the adjoining roads, gates & view points. Icons indicate campgrounds, picnic areas, restaurants & visitor centres. Also marked are locations of trailheads along the routes – the staring points for local walks – with a separate list indicating their length & the degree of difficulty. The map also shows the route of the Appalachian Trail long-distance footpath which roughly follows the course of the Blue Ridge Parkway & crosses it in several places. The map is not indexed & does not have geographical coordinates for GPS. About the Blue Ridge Parkway (courtesy of the Wikipedia): The Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Parkway & All-American Road in the United States, noted for its scenic beauty. It runs for 469 miles (755 km), mostly along the famous Blue Ridge, a major mountain chain that is part of the Appalachian Mountains. Its southern terminus is on the boundary between Great Smoky Mountains National Park & the Cherokee Indian Reservation in North Carolina, from which it travels north to Shenandoah National Park in Virginia & offers access to the Skyline Drive, the major north/south artery through the Park. The two All-American Byways are separate & distinct. The Blue Ridge Parkway was built to connect Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Parkway is not a National Park, but is a National Scenic Byway & All-American Road, & is the most visited unit in the United States National Park System. Land on either side of the road is maintained by the National Park Service &, in many places, the park is bordered by land protected by the United States Forest Service. The Parkway will be depicted on North Carolina`s version of the America the Beautiful quarter in 2015 ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.

As Featured in the Guinness Book of Records, this is the thrilling, inspiring story of Dave Cornthwaite`s epic journey down-under by a most unusual form of transport. Tired of the nine-to-five, Dave decided one day that he needed a change
- a big change. & so he jumped on his Rolls Rolls longboard (the Land Rover of skateboards) & broke a world record, skating the length of Great Britain. Not content with such glories, he decided to go one better & during the second half of 2006 skated from Perth to Brisbane, a distance of 4, 500 miles
- raising money for three childrens` charities in the process & earning a reputation as a mad pom. This is the story of Dave`s motivation, his stamina, & his enduring good spirit in the face of a huge challenge. Grippingly written & with fantastic photos from Dave`s collection, this is an unputdownable real-life adventure story. Dave amassed loads of news coverage in Australia & around the world during his journey & will return to Australia later in 2007 to attempt another world record & to conduct an extensive speaking tour.
