Richard WebbElibank and Traquair. Event was in 1981 but map older. Extract from a large sheet. #OldOrienteeringMap #Map #Orienteering #ESOC #RoxburghReivers
Gullane Dunes and Archerfield Estate 1979. Much of the area - the wooded bit to the east has been lost to golf and the big southern open area is the famous Muirfield course. Dunes are still used and hosted the Scottish Championships. #OldOrienteeringMap #Orienteering #Map #Interlopers #EastLothian
Clocaenog, 1981. Even at the time this map felt a bit retro - 1:20000 scale and of an upland Sitka plantation. Does anyone still use them anymore - oh hello ELO.
The bit below the road to the south was used a bit later as Bod Petural. #OldOrienteeringMap #Orienteering #Map #DeesideOrieteeringClub

Bishop's Wood 1981. This Staffordshire pine wood contains the remains of an old glass factory. It was used a lot between 1976 and 1986 but has long been missing from the fixture lists. #OldOrienteeringMap #Orienteering #Map #WrekinOrienteers This was my last ever run in the #JK.
Oakenhill and Churchill 1973. A very old map to encounter in 1978. Infamous for several mistakes with the scale - the 1:16666 was not the only one. #NGOC #OldOrienteeringMap #OMap #ForestOfDean
Occasionally appears at the western end of a Danby Lodge map

The one Peter Gabriel did not write a song about......
Bannerdown 1976. #KingswoodSchool are big on #orienteering and I can remember them running coaches to events. Lots of Letratone on this one.
I have not seen any recent maps of the area. #OldOrienteeringMap #OMap #CotswoldHills

Postage stamp maps were not so common then.

Soudley Ponds 1977. The original event was cancelled after a very heavy snowfall (I was snowed in in Somerset for 4 days). No boar then. #ForestOfDean #NGOC #OldOrienteeringMap #OMap
