Richard WebbLizard Hill and the Gallops 1981 Dave Gittus & #WrekinOrienteers Warm up for the #JK 1981. I walked to the event from Shifnal Station on Good Friday. 2018 version: www.wrekin.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#15
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.

Wrekin 1979. Eastern half of the map which included some very brambly industrial ground on limestone as well as the Uriconian ridge itself. First use was for the Midland Championships. I was on control checking duty and had to climb the thing four times on my patrol. This map was for a use up the map stock badge event. Note the 10m contour interval. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Orienteering #Maps #WrekinOrienteers #Shropshire
