Before you buy

A FEW GOOD
QUESTIONS

What exactly do I get?

A 43-page PDF guide with ten personally explored places, three planned road trips and two standalone missions. It is a self-guided planning resource. A printed book, admission tickets and an accompanied tour are not included.

How do I receive the guide?

After successful payment, Payhip provides a download page and emails a receipt with your download link. Save that receipt so you can find your guide again. Get help with a download.

Can I use it on my phone or without signal?

Save the PDF to your phone or tablet before you leave, or print it at A4. You can read the saved pages offline; external links, live updates and online maps still need a connection.

Do I need a car?

The three road trips are designed around driving. Public-transport notes are included, but check current services and the walking involved before choosing a route.

Does buying the guide give me access to a location?

The guide does not grant entry or filming permission. Access, terrain, opening arrangements and conditions can change. Check current information and signage, respect restrictions and choose an alternative if a visit is not safe or permitted.

What if something has changed or I need help?

Email Steven with the place or page you mean. For an order issue, include your order reference. Help, contact and useful links.
