Hi, I'm not sure it was those maps particularly, but that type, yes. I was sighted and in mainstream school back then but I thought this sort of thing would be used generally for blind children these days as they are so cool but I've had no luck after some web searches. I wouldn't presume to steal them from your wall!

I still have the physical and political range on a wall at home - but not up for grabs I am afraid.

Now as a blindey, I could really use something like this for different regions of the world, even if it was something less elaborate. Does anyone know of available tactile maps of the world, I don't read Braille so something more instinctive would be great. Any help would be most appreciated.
