    Dude, they are a fiver each, worth sticking in the bag - your Tom Tom will know where you are to the nearest co-ordinate, but thats not worth a wank if you don't know where that is in relation to where you need to get to or if you need to adopt another route...

    They are great as you can physically see the roads you'll be riding and pick out decent looking roads you will overlook if you are tfollowing the sat nav blind which will screw you at least once trust me... Plus you might want to tweak the routes based on the time you are covering ground, which will be much slower than a Sunday ride trust me

    We came across a few closed roads and the sat navs were goosed.

    Up to you but I'd never go anywhere without a map...

    By all means I'm no expert, sure you will be fine mate but my advice that's all
