Thanks for the encouragement
Was my first real map that I have had a crack at since looking at the GIMP tutes. I tried CC3 but just couldnt get it to do what I wanted so sorta lost faith in it. I think GIMP is the way forward for me, if I can ever get my head around all the layers and the gazillion buttons...

I also stuffed it and saved that map as JPEG, not the GIMP format - so that sucked too - but hey its all learning right?!

Anyhow, if you do get a chance, that would be awesome!
