I think prices for maps are pretty much fixed, so I don't think you'll get ripped off wherever you get it from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Morgy, My choice for paramotoring is a quarter million (1:250,000) CAA topographical chart. They are a VFR standard chart and have the detail you need for both local and cross country flying. You might want to consider a half million chart (1:500,000) for planning purposes if you fancy going further afield. You can order your charts across the phone or internet from many vendors, Pooley's are people I have used for years, Transair also have a massive selection of items. Make sure you ensure you get the most recent edition(s), it is either about to change or has just done so I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairoaks do sell them, in the shop in the cafe building, I think the quarter mil is the best for reading while you are flying at the speeds we do. Are you back now ? I had a look at that bowl field up in Send and it's promising..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
