These contour maps began as a way of bringing the mountains I love off the computer screen and onto the wall.
Every map starts with real terrain data and is designed, printed and framed here in Greater Manchester for walkers, climbers and people who simply want a piece of the fells at home.
Some mountains become part of your life. These maps are a way of keeping them there.
Real Terrain Data
Built from genuine elevation data, not AI-generated artwork.
Framed by hand
Printed, mounted and framed here in Greater Manchester.
Made for walkers
Designed by someone who actually spends time in the mountains.
A good mountain map doesn’t just show where you’ve been.
It reminds you how it felt to stand there.
Featured Contour Maps
These are the mountains people ask me about most often, places tied to first summits, difficult days, family walks and unforgettable views.
Why Contour Maps?
Contour maps strip a mountain back to its shape.
Without paths, colours and symbols fighting for attention, the land itself becomes the focus. Ridges sharpen, valleys deepen and familiar mountains suddenly look completely different hanging on a wall.
For walkers, they become more than decoration. They become memory triggers.
- A hard-earned summit
- A wild camp
- A first scramble
- A favourite ridge walked fifty times
The mountains we return to tend to become part of who we are.
Walked it. Wrote about it. Mapped it.
The maps are only part of the story, the result of a journey that’s lasted many years for me.
Many of the mountains featured in the collection also appear throughout the walking blog, alongside route cards, photographs, weather, scrambling routes and the sort of observations you only really make after spending years out in the hills, wild camping many of them, completing the Wainwrights and becoming a mountain leader.
Some mountains become part of your life. These maps are a way of keeping them close.
On people’s walls
Most of my maps end up as gifts.
Birthday presents, weddings, retirements, house warming gifts, a memento for completing the Wainwrights or simply because somebody misses the mountains when they’re not there.
Happy customer at Christmas
I thought you might l ike to see a photo of one very happy customer at Christmas, offering up the Lakes relief map I bought from you in December to see where it might go.
We are delighted with it, it’s just what I was looking for. Beautifully done. I’m so glad to have found you.
Thank you.
Framing Quality
The maps are printed on heavyweight 235gsm stock with a satin laminate finish to help protect against marks and glare.
Framed versions are mounted and framed here in Greater Manchester before being carefully packed for delivery.
I frame them the way I’d want to receive them myself.
The mountains stay with you
Whether it’s the mountain you grew up beneath, the summit you finally reached or the walk that changed something in your life, these maps are designed to keep a little piece of the hills close by.

Finding the Priest Hole
The best time to go looking for a cave in a vertical crag is in the dark in the depths of winter – said nobody ever! However, it seemed challenging so we thought we’d camp as well.
