A great reminder of how much some things have changed in the last (nearly) 50 years...
'An orienteer is no better than his map,' so say the Nordic pundits. If this is true then the British orienteer has no excuse for not being among the best in the world, for the maps produced by Her Majesty's Ordnance Survey are second to none
(and there follows a lengthy discussion of how to interpret a black and white copy of an OS 1:25000 map)
On the other hand some things happily haven't changed a bit:
Your one thought as you make your way home after the race will not be a lament for your wet feet, scratched legs or aching lungs but a need to know when is the next event?
What a clever (non-orienteering) partner I have
Hope Santa has been good to you all as well, and have a great 2016.
