 A study in accurate use of Letratone. This is a remarkable effort for its time and quite striking in that an area of over 90% fight did not use green.  The problem was 2m high brambles.
The map was made in nearby Millfield School, who operated a fully fledged club running events up to what used to be called badge events and also put in a bid for the 1980 Southern Championships.  This forest was on their doorstep, but fortunately efforts were later directed to the Quantock Hills and this bramble infested hell hole was allowed to lapse.  I believe that Millfield now own part of the forest.
