Modern maps: Hawley  Yateley Heath

Yateley Heath and Hawley Common are regulars on the fixture list and have hosted major events up to JK level. This is an early edition and no doubt there were a few maps before this one.  A full five colour job at the then common scale of 1:20,000, it covers a vast area of heathland and forest. For some reason the mapper went for a portrait format, as a result the magnetic north lines are horizontal. Despite the strange orientation, and the symbols being inconsistently oriented, this is a very fine piece of pen and ink work.
