£2.99

At that price, even it it turns out to be not exactly long-lasting, it's not
going to break the bank.

A very good thing
You trim the sheet down to the right size with a stanley knife and
rubber band and bulldog clip your map. Because it is elevated lights
and computer fit snuggly underneath .
I have hoarded one or two just in case.

They seem to be struggling to shift these - I think that's about the
fourth time they've been offered this year. Maybe the price will get
even lower. :-)

The Lidl offers differ by region. That's why you have to put in your
postcode the first time you visit the site. They had these map holders a
couple of months ago here in the Northwest.

Same in West - as I mentioned today was the TdF DVD & Book on major

Are you saying you have to destroy your valuable collection of OS maps to
fit this device?

Perhaps because there are so few roads maps are not neccessary!(:-)

Or you can unbolt the sheet and fit another of your own devising.

Or you can unbolt the sheet and use the rest as a cheap quick-release
handlebar bag mounting.

Or... well there are loads of other uses - a good thing indeed.
