I bought the Phillips, Navigator, The Camping and Caravan Club one , has over 3000 cs and club site plus others, so If can take the time and add the CC cl sites, It would be a good map, as WC says spiral bound, but comes at £20. Ouch.
So with the CC and C andCC , and Uk campsites on my phone and tablet, plus the Caravan satNav, And we still end up at the same 15 plus sites.

ALDI had the 2016 AA at £1-95, not sure if they still have them. At that price you can buy a new one every year and keep up to date on any changes.

Weren't those the bigger ones that take up a lot of space when opened, hence paying slightly more for the smaller ring bound one?
I have one of these Philips Navigator Truckers Britain
Philip's Navigator Trucker's Britain is the must-have atlas for every professional driver - a special feature of this atlas is the inclusion of over 6000 low bridges, and their height restrictions, which are clearly marked on the maps. The maps also show fixed speed-camera locations, with their speed limits, and provide over 3000 road names as well as numbers. The atlas also includes a massive selection of 100 indexed town-centre maps, detailed approach maps to 12 major urban areas, plus route-planning maps, a distance table, and a fully comprehensive 43,000-name index.
The main road maps are at 1.5 miles to 1 inch (Northern Scotland at 3 miles to 1 inch) and are extra clear and detailed, showing even the smallest roads and lanes that are omitted from other atlases. Every roundabout, junction and slip-road is shown in detail on main roads and motorways. The alpha-numeric grid is based on the National Grid, so that the atlas can be used with GPS systems. In addition, every street in Britain is located on the maps

Is that why there are often reports of lorries getting stuck in narrow lanes?
No that's because some of the so called professional drivers try too use a ordinary car sat NAV :woohoo:
I too bought the Phillips Navigator, a great publication and well worth the £14.99.I paid as a C&CC member.
Amazing amount of detail.

When I was a field engineer (for 34 years!) covering the whole of the north of England and North Wales and the North Midlands I swore by the Phillips Navigator Atlas. 1.6m/inch (3m/inch in N. Scotland) and nearly as much details as an OS Landranger.
Going price in the High Street is anything between £17 and £20 less a penny apiece, but go to a good market and you will find last year's edition for as little as £6 - and roads don't move that much!
