Why not print from the cross cape website?

Try emailing the address given on the website -- they were dishing out the printed maps, I believe.

Yes and they send it to a post office. Good luck.

The Slingsby Maps are great quality and cover a lot of it:

There are gaps, e.g. the area north of Montagu up to the N1, but in general, great touring maps.

massive fan of slingbsy maps, have basically got the entire set. you could probably cover this with the garden route/overberg combo.

BUT

Peter and Maggie have retired, and sold "the business" to T4A. It remains to be seen what they do with this treasure, but for now here is the best pace to buy them. https://shop.tracks4africa.co.za/product-category/slingsby/slingsby_touring/ 

would be nice if they keep it current and mayve even do a biketouring version of some, but I have no reason to believe they will see a market for it.

Speaking of which, I read this inspirational story last week, which says:

Stephen had plotted the route on his Tracks4Africa paper maps. “The paper map tells you the distances between points as well as the road conditions, which helped with planning. I made photocopies of the relevant parts to take on the ride and then I had the Tracks4Africa App on my phone. The app was brilliant, it showed us exactly where we were.”
