A Grid Square somewhere near Bristol
Copyright The Ordnance Survey.
I am one of the OS 1:25000 map fan club, surely the the best series of maps in the world; gems of cartography. This series of posts will take one of those maps, then take just one grid square, and then explore.
The Map
Explorer series 505- Bristol and Bath
Like all of the OS explorer series, this is a facilitating map to lay out and explore with the 
finger, eyes and imagination.The symbology is perfect for bringing for capturing a landscape in all its dimensions, including time.
To buy a copy, on Amazon just click on the link at the bottom of this blog. Alternatively try the OS brilliant App. I use it on the Kindle Fire, and it is excellent value, and fun.
The square
ST 6280
This is a map square that appears almost devoid of interest, and totally devoid of names. I have three years of transiting through this cartographic semi- desert that appears to offer little to distract from a daily diet of headphone piped podcasts.
The opportunity
And yet, there is a glimmer of potential within this entrapment, a chance to create something new. Pyschogeography, my little Kindle Fire HD6, and this blog may be a combination that provide an escape from the pointlessness of the day commute.
And so this blog changes direction for a while. where it will go I am not sure, it will be an exploration of a small square of British Surburbia, and an exploration of a new subject.
