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

Two copies of a very small one to ten thousand orienteering map of a runnable woodland on a south facing slope. The map is four colour (no blue register as it is a limestone area and dry).

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

One to Fifteen Thousand five colour orienteering map of a hilly bit of the Forest of Dean. Mixed runnability, lots of contour detail.

Strines 1978. A very fine runnable forest used for the #JK relay. Now the western part has been turned into moorland and the area has long since disappeared from fixture lists.

1:10000 scribed orienteering map - very clear, of a runnable forest with two steep sided valleys in the middle of the area. There is a remarked course from a relay event. Drawn by Vic Roberts. Typical of the style of mapping further north in Yorkshire at the time.
