Richard Webb<p>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. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/NGOC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NGOC</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OldOrienteeringMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldOrienteeringMap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ForestOfDean" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ForestOfDean</span></a><br>Occasionally appears at the western end of a Danby Lodge map<br>www.ngoc.routegadget.co.uk/rg2/#53</p><p><a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6704293" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">geograph.org.uk/photo/6704293</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Richard Webb<p>Soudley Ponds 1977. The original event was cancelled after a very heavy snowfall (I was snowed in in Somerset for 4 days).

Richard Webb<p>Strines 1978. A very fine runnable forest used for the <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/JK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JK</span></a> relay. Now the western part has been turned into moorland and the area has long since disappeared from fixture lists.<br>This race was in snow.<br>www.geograph.org.uk/photo/171070<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OldOrienteeringMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldOrienteeringMap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OMap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OMap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/SYO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SYO</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Orienteering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Orienteering</span></a></p>

Richard Webb<p>Anagach, Grantown. 1:15000 1977 Harvey's Map Service<br>This map was used for the final day of the first Scottish 6 days. I missed this due to it being a travel day.

Richard Webb<p>Wasdale 1979. Tony Pennick's distinctive style. WCOC maps of that era remind me of Danish/Faroese stamps. Old fashioned but lovely to look at.

Richard Webb<p>Duns Wood 1979 - Scottish Junior Championships IIRC.

Richard Webb<p>Black and white maps were still very much a thing in 1977<br>Banwell (74) and Ammerdown (77) both tiny areas and home to brambles. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Omap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Omap</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OldOrienteeringMaps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OldOrienteeringMaps</span></a></p>
