Dalswinton 1981, Harvey's Map Service. Once again an area that was mostly felled after use. It was excellent terrain at the time. Usual Harveys clarity. The forest, now mainly Sitka is just north of Dumfries. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Orienteering #Maps #SolwayOrienteers

Beaudesert 1981. The other half of the #JK map used on the first day of the event. In those days there were two long distance classic races and a replay in the prestigious race. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Maps #Orienteering #CannockChase Cunning #Running #WaltonChasers

Titterstone Clee Hill 1984. 1980s Harlequins maps had a very distinctive look. Fast grassland with mining and quarrying heritage. #Orienteering #OldOrienteeringMaps #Maps #Shropshire #Harlequins

Blea Tarn 1980. Northern Championships. I was lucky enough to run on this map again, many years later. A superb area with runnable grassland and lovely scenery. Finish was in a big garden.
This is the Eskdale Blea Tarn.

East Monaughty 1980. Clearfelling soon took this forest off the fixture list. I would have spent a lot of time on an EUOC bus to get there. Premarked maps were a well loved luxury at this time.
