I've noticed that Routebuddy are offering a pretty good deal on their digital mapping for Challengers this year:
They are offering the Challenge Area @ 1:50k for £19.99 but you can also add selected areas at the 1:25k scale into your bundle at very reasonable prices and then receive an additional discount on top to make the bundle more attractive.
The Routebuddy offer can be found HERE
I love using Routebuddy for planning my Challenge routes as it's incredibly easy to switch backwards and forwards between the "map view" and "aerial view," which makes planning off-piste routes much easier.
(I'm not sure that Andy Walker will agree with this, as this inevitably involves a lot more bog-hopping!)
To explain that a little better about the switching thing, I'll post a couple of screen-grabs below:
Anyway - there it is. I find their mapping system really user-friendly, and switching between views incredibly useful and easy to do.
And there was I thinking all that off piste bog hopping was because we were lost ... you mean you planned it, you sadistic f&*$!@!??
Don't those wind farm access roads show up splendidly on the aerial view, though? 
Don't you go blaming me for the 2013 route, Young Man!
Walking north for the first five days through every bog possible was all down to the route-planner - You.
This year's route with Mr Walker (should he get his new knee) is quite novel, in that we are mostly heading.... East!
Oh. And then quite a bit south for a few days.
Whoops.
@ Alan
Indeed. Sweet revenge, served nicely chilled.
