New map added

Remember the sheer delight and fascination of opening ‘The Lord of the Rings‘ or ‘The Hobbit‘ for the first time and seeing the map of Middle Earth set out with the realms of Rohan, Gondor, The Shire and Mordor. Somehow it just brought the whole book to life and was a handy reference as the story progressed.

Or the opening credits to ‘Game of Thrones‘ as the viewer is whisked from kingdom to kingdom, location to location, in a breathtaking tour of Westeros.

Got me to thinking…

I’ve had a fair few readers who are unfamiliar with the real-world locations featured in ‘Hurst’ requesting a map to bring it all together. Now I was all set to find a real geographical map and then I stopped. Wouldn’t it be more fun to create a map that one of the characters could have created that features the key locations in the book only. A handy guide for the reader as they explore the Solent. From No Man’s Land Fort to Yarmouth, to Fawley Refinery, Milford on sea, Osborne House, Carisbrooke Castle and Portsmouth. Now you’ll always know where you are.

Enjoy.
