Why Harvey Maps Are The Best For Torridon:

  • Unrivalled Accuracy and Detail: Torridon’s intricate terrain demands precision. Harvey Maps are renowned for their meticulous surveying and attention to detail. The contours are clear, the paths are accurately marked, and the rock features are faithfully represented. This level of detail is crucial when navigating in challenging conditions.

Harvey Maps are designed to withstand these harsh conditions. Their waterproof and tear-resistant paper means we can rely on them, no matter what the weather throws at us. We often back this up by using cut our sections in an Ortlieb map case. Looking after your map is essential as they are constantly being used in demanding environments.
