How high’s our ambition? Everest is next!

The Daily Telegraph’s Outdoors Show positively exudes opportunity.  Every year we expect more.  And every year it delivers.

In our 3rd year we Splashed big-time.  SplashMaps’ fabric maps of destinations featured at the show were gifted to the main tourist companies for Latin America, Mediterranean, USA and Ireland. All made from our new international map engine.

We also fielded our best outdoor team ever. Between them our team can run 100 miles, ride 300, train the next generation of explorers and hurl a fabric map with pin-point precision over more than 10 feet.  Not to mention that we make the best maps available at the show or anywhere else you’d care to mention.

What lengths will we go to? We’ve committed to design the first Paris-London Map on behalf of Ride 25 and their crazy idea to ride Brompton bikes between our capitals in celebration of the Battle of Britain. Our Media Release tells all 20150211 SplashMaps Outdoor Show Ride 25 Feb 2015 (2)

What about the future? We’re committed to giving you confidence in your adventure.  We’ll do that anywhere in the world.  And we start young!  We awarded a dozen SplashMaps to the Chandler’s Ford 15th Otterbourne Cubs for their map of “Austin Island”. The map was judged the nations best Scout map by the Scout Association themselves! The maps should last at least 10 generations of new Beavers, Cubs and Scouts that use the hut.

And our community? We love supporting the Cycling community.  To celebrate our sponsorship of the biggest Cycling Charity in Great Britain we gave a map to Cycle editor, Dan Joyce.  From February onward the best customer reviews in the magazine will automatically receive a personalised SplashMap of their own design!

And our Sports? Run? Ride? Swim? We appeal to all, so it was great to award a SplashMap to the best of the on-line media for Triathlon, Tri247’s Andy Tomlinson.
