A wonderful map - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I've found this Middle-earth map on the net some time ago and I thought it would be a good idea to share it with you.
It's done by some Tolkien fans and available for free download as a PDF file.
What I saw really amazed me.
The map much resembles the one in the UT, except for the fact it's colored.
If you have the possibility to print it on a A0 format it makes a great gift to any other fan friend of yours, and the print quality is great, due to the PDF format.
Don's believe?
See for yourselves!

Oh my! That's great!

I love the... how is it called in English... icons (look at the Grey Havens!)

(zooms in and rides through the map, thinking "Here we set up a troop of seven hundred well-trained Mirkwood rangers, here we place an ambush of five hundred warriors from Lórien to prevent the Orcs of Moria to come to aid the main host... and here we set up some defenses to stop eventual left-bank assault...")

Wow nice.

Yes, both Beorn's house and the Grey Havens have that
Really a great job of these guys...I'm not sure what exactly they used to make it, but it really looks great
Also, from all important names of regions only Lossarnach is missing, and this only because of lack of space probably.
