Thanks for the catch, I posted in too much haste. I have found some better clarification of the map scale, and have updated the post. Here’s another good reference in Grouph: http://www.grough.co.uk/magazine/2009/11/17/os-mapping-to-be-freed-%E2%80%93-but-not-for-the-outdoors

Scratching my head… Is there an error? “The maps will be provided at a map scale of 1:10,000, which is coarser than the typical Landranger map set at 1:25,000″

A 1:10K scale map is finer than 1:25K scale map.
