The PEEPS at Awesome Maps have given me an… uhm, Awesome Map to give away to readers of the Armchair Mountaineer blog. Yay, what could look better on your home office wall?
We have two maps decorating our walls at home - one in my daughter’s room with loads of flags, interesting information on various countries (and now a bunch of irrelevant emoji stickers). The other is a scratch map in the office which allows us to scratch off any place we have visited around the world. They do make for a fun (and educational). Neither of them come from Awesome Maps actually (sorry folks) however, they might have done if I had known about them :)
Awesome Maps offer a huge number of decorative maps such as the Hiking Map, Bucket List Map or the Climbing Map and they have been kind enough to offer one as a giveaway to readers of this blog, and here it is:
Map of the world’s best hiking trails.
The Awesome Maps hiking map is a hand illustrated map with over 350 of the best hiking trails around the world. Alongside each illustration is information on landscape, length, time, and little extras such as bird-spotting or heritage sites also to be found in the area. You can tick them off as you do them!
