Today i bought from Decathlon a pair of Triban Essential cycling shorts.They are shorts on me,and they are exactly what i wanted.They have a great sized blue pad.the shorts actually don't even reach my belly button.So they are on me like cycling underpants.Which could not be better.i have two pair of bib shorts one pair the pad is so flattened as to be useless,and this is where the new shorts come in.Worn underneath, the old faves gives me great comfort,riding the Brooks won't be a problem after such a long lay off.Cost £9-99.As a pair of cycling shorts i think they are too short in the body length.I was surprised when i was told i could try them on.i did but i had more than enough tissues in my bag due to a runny nose.I did not fancy marking them,luckily they fit.Worth a punt at £9-99 i think so.

A check suggests that, with the special ones (62), there are over 500 OS Explorer maps.
A few hundred has to be at least 301 which (have checked) means a pile (if stable - no chance) of over 2800mm (allowing that the maps at the bottom of the pile would be well compressed): total weight = 37kg.
Phone download weight needs adding to that.

Well I've just weighed one of my bags of 1:50,000 maps (contains 25, my Land's End to John O'Groats coverage as it happens) and they are lighter, averaging 95g.
Since you have perhaps 100 of those (scarcely a 50,000 centurion) that'd be barely 10kg more.

look better than the basic ones they did years ago which were basically a thin piece of sponge.
