Despite a 14-metre shortfall relative to its better-known neighbour, Lakeland's second summit is arguably Top Dog, presenting stupendous rock faces, especially towards Hollowstones and Mickledore.

That sounds pretty bizarre, Pete. Can you post (or send to me) a screen shot of what you're getting?

Kerrazy stuff - does it show up on the OS style when you toggle layers, too?

And what about other route cards? Is it just this one?

I've checked your previous three route cards and they seem OK. I'd delete this thread, re-source the map and repost, as it seems a shame it's been derailed...

Looks like someone's been adding anti-Russian and anti-Putin messages to openstreetmap.

This was due to an error with the map provider we use, it is ongoing, but generally fixed quite promptly. However the bad data can stay cached on various servers/devices.
