• 1:25,000 maybe 1:50,000 I think. You need a few and they are expensive. I used car maps though and they're shit. Germany had a little double boxed set of bike-specific maps I bought but I never found any or could justify the expense for the other countries I was in.

    This. 1:50,000 of the OS maps is pretty alright, but they are stupid expensive if you're covering a big distance (or not even that big, Exeter to London was something like 8 maps!). Last tour I just printed out route sheets based on screen shots of google maps and made sure my phone was always ready to point me in the direction of the nearest whatever-we'd-need (i.e. pub). Was a lot of paper, but it was a lot cheaper too.
