<p>Hugh may well not have had as much sense of the higher and lower areas as is provided by this topographical map. This would be be because the exaggeration of height, in relation to distances, emphasises the height differences. I don't cycle at present, but I can tell higher areas, steeper slopes, from a basic OS map, by looking at the contour lines. Reading an OS map in this way is not a facility that many people have, but I was lucky enough to study Geography at university level. It is said…</p>
