I did cycle with a map yesterday and had a very nice ride on winding country lanes through the fields and even through a little bit of forest. And I have discovered that this route takes me over the highest point in the whole county! Granted it's the highest point in the lowest/flatest part of the country, but still! I get to cycle up a fairly long (but not very steep) hill through a forested bit. Then cruise down the other side and over a very nice canal. And today is another glorious sunny day so I think I will do it again!
