The Camping and Caravanning Club and British mapmakers Ordnance Survey (OS) have joined forces in a bid to help caravanners get the most from their touring holidays.

As part of the new partnership, OS will be offering a discount on all of its Custom Made maps that centre on the Club's sites, as well as cutting the price on other products, including its get-a-map annual subscriptions.

All of this is designed to help caravanners find new walking routes when staying at Club sites, while members are able to use the online OS Leisure Portal to share their routes with others and find new recommended routes.

Ruth Doyle, director of marketing and communications at the Club, said they are delighted to partner with Ordnance Survey.

"Our campers love walking, cycling and running when they stay on our sites and Ordnance Survey maps are an excellent way for them to discover a new area," she said.
