Thanks to proofreader Susan, I\u2019ve added this key to the maps used in the book. I\u2019ve tried to always keep north facing up, although sometimes you have to turn the book for those pages where the map is rotated 90\u00b0. The majority of the maps are oriented so that north faces the top of the page as you\u2019re holding the book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The detailed town maps, however, are rotated so that north faces the left edge of the opened book. There\u2019s one canal map that\u2019s oriented this way as well, as the canal runs mostly east-west through Glanusk Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is written to follow the canal from Brecon to Newport, and the Crumlin Arm reads from Newport to Cwmcarn. As you can imagine, it took some head scratching to layout the maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve drawn all the maps in Adobe Illustrator. And it\u2019s not strictly to scale, but close enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
