Hand Drawn Maps

Welcome to my new Blog. I know the layout is rubbish but I'm working on it...

This map recently caught my eye. It started me thinking of drawing a map on paper of around where I was brought up in Long Eaton - entirely from memory, without recourse to modern maps or any other reference.

Don't hold your breath as it may take a while - I can't draw!

What! Call yourself a Cartographer? Well, there's drawing and drawing, see?

Now where did I put my pencils and crayons? No, seriously, where are they?
