Ordnance Survey
Since 1978 at Countryside Ski & Climb we have stocked a comprehensive range of OS (Ordnance Survey) Landranger and Explorer maps for the UK. The curious name ‘Ordnance Survey’ dates back to 1791 when the ‘Board of Ordnance’ which is what we would know today as the Ministry of Defence, was instructed to survey and map the entire east coast at a time when invasion from France was feared. Today the whole country is mapped in detail and the Ordnance Survey is a self-financing civilian organisation at the forefront of paper and digital mapping information.
