I'm looking for a laminated Discovery Series map, number 74 covering Kilworth. I've been in contact with irishmaps.ie and they've quoted my EU25 for one. Anyone know where I can get one cheaper. Have looked around town, only paper maps available.

buy paper sheet, cut out area, use contact, presto small and useful map rather than PITA that won't fit anywhere easily."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank" -
Get a paper one and photocopy the relevant area in A4 or A3 size and then laminate the copy.
This saves carrying a full size map.
The above practice might infringe on the copyright so even if it is a good idea....don't do it.;-)Comment

You can get map bags....almost as good as laminating, but waay cheaper.

laminting is shite as it dosen't fold properly for field use.. buy a copy and use clear contact...lasts for years.
I have the whole of the discovery series laid out this way. Yeah a bit of work involved.
Tip..use hard edge such as steel ruler and scalpel..Xacto #11 blade as oppsed to scissors.
Price per map is a fraction of buy the OS prepared map.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

Yes, on average, the pre laminated OS maps I' ve see about have been in the €20 - €25 rangeOriginally posted by concussion View Post"Well, stone me!

correct, most stationery shops'll have it. be careful and have a nice flat map before you start
also don't forget to have the grid square numbers on it somewhere."Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"Comment

Sounds like a plan, was looking for something to distract me from studying for my summer exams. Thanks for the tips."Attack your attic with a Steyr....as seen on the Late Late Show..."Comment

Clear Contact is the plastic stuff that comes on a roll an when the backing is peeled off the whole exposed ised is sticky..takes a bit of practise but its effective. About three maps per roll very cost effective.
Nail varnish remover wipes will take off felt tipped markers so no damage to the coating.
handier than plastic bags an reasonably water proof if you are careful around the seams.Covid 19 is not over ....it's still very real..Hand Hygiene, Social Distancing and Masks.. keep safeComment

if you need the full sheet i would splash out the 20/25 on the pre-laminated version
you can do it with contact and it works reasonably well, but only saves a few quid and can leak at the seams if you go through rivers (also it doesnt fold as neatly)...Comment

After using contact paper place the backing sheet off the paper over the map and use a warm iron to get rid of any bubbles.The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity.

murph, i always used a drop of vodka, or a spray of lynx ... both do the same job (alchohol soluble) for removing marker marks !Comment
