Another from the 1:20,000 era. This one must have been something special - a full five colour job in 1973. It was used for the Mammoth, the forerunner to today's Lakes 5-days. Kershope is not really an orienteering forest, it is mainly Sitka spruce and part of the huge area of artificial woodland which straddles the England - Scotland border. It does not seem to have been used for many years and much of it has been felled and replanted. One for the Mountain bikes?
