Cheap Charts

Hi folks,

This is my very first experience with PPRuNe, so please be kind.

I'm currently studying for a UK PPL, and have just finished reading the Air Navigation study materials. It's coming up to Christmas and my wife and family would like to get me something I would love. I'd love charts to help me learn.

Basically, I'd like half and quarter mil charts for the route I'm most likely to fly when I qualify (and areas 50nm either side of my route for safety). I don't intend to use these charts for actual flying, but rather just to help me become familiar with reading maps, and with that particular route (BFS->KOI) (EGAA -> EGPA).

All the charts are £15.99 new, and given that I'd need several, I could be looking at a bill of £80.
  • 1:500,000 Northern England/Ireland
  • 1:500,000 Scotland
  • 1:250,000 Northern Ireland
  • 1:250,000 The Borders
  • 1:250,000 Northern Scotland East

Does anyone have any tips on how to get out-of-date charts cheaper or discount charts?

If this is a stupid question, feel free to explain. Thanks a ton!

Steven
