Newcastleton Forest. F Jolly and Heriot-Watt University Orienteering Club 1980. HWUOC liked Sitka plantations, they mapped Blairadam a year later - I would love to see that map.
Newcastleton has had some changes since - the yellow was planted with trees soon after the event and there is a #7Stanes trail centre there now. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps #Orienteering #MTB

Drumore Wood 1975 - a bit of surviving rainforest in the midst of the Loch Ard Forest, Aberfoyle. Physical!

It's #Scottish6Days Week, so here is Culbin from the World Championships in 1976 and the first ever 6 Days. #Orienteering #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

Archerfield Wood - felled to make way for golf courses, one of which has been used for the #ScottishOpen this weekend. The big yellow area is Muirfield. Despite the loss of much of the area, it hosted the 2017 Scottish Championships. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Omaps.

Duns Wood 1979 - Scottish Junior Championships IIRC. The forest got well and truly Arwenised, so a historic document #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMap

Pollok Park 1979 - mixing it up with the Heilans and no Burrell. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Omaps #Glasgow

Rock Coppice 1979. One of those events I had to cycle to, got a lift back with Bishop's Castle High School. A lost area, now a sea of nasty keep out signs. A fragment of the Wyre Forest - very brambly. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

Fernworthy 1979. What would this look like in the Lidar era. These were 10m interval. This was the JK individual - just one day then followed by a relay and an informal race on the Monday. Longer courses went out on the moors for spectator controls.

Oakenhill Wood and Churchill Inclosure 1973 with later revisions. A 1978 event, probably a NGOC Saturday event

Ogof Ffynnon Ddu Peter Seaward 1978. The legendary gritstone maze in the Swansea Valley. Event held in thick fog which lifted in time to help somebody beat me. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

Beechenhurst 1974-78 The anomalous club badge stands out in this very much

area. This is an update of the 1974 JK maps and as now it was a regular on the fixture list. #ForestOfDean #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

Bannerdown 1976 P. Fielding and J Metcalfe. Schools were very active in putting on #orienteeringevents in the 1970s with Millfield and Kingswood adding to the fixture lists in #Somerset. This wood is just outside Bath. #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

The Sidelands, Mike Nelson 1977
Somerset limestone terrain, no need for a blue register. Now a small part of a larger Tyntesfield map. One of the smallest maps I have ever used.

"Corstorphin Woods" D Bruce and G Barnett, Heriot Watt 1972. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Edinburgh #OMaps

Time for another map from the last days when five colours was a big deal. Soudley Ponds, 1978. The event was moved after a big snowfall (I was snowed in for 4 days, a big deal for the Somerset Levels.) Course is M17A

Linford Brook, #NewForest 1978 #OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps

Kinver Edge 1978. Ian and Colin Maynard, Drawn by Peter Parker. Even in 1978 it had a retro look, but was a sound, clear map of an intricate area.

#OldOrienteeringMaps #OMaps
Peter Purves was there with a film crew.

Rivelin 1978, Mark Elwood Warm up for the JK.
