January Classics: Day 10

Today’s edition of January Classics takes us to a nice, classic World Cup race in Engelsberg (Austria) back in 1988. We are again diving into the great map archive of Lars Palmqvist where the community helped placing all the maps geographically. Thanks a lot to “Cha” for the tip!

This comment of Palmqvist in the map archive is “Bad route choice in the start – and afterwards many small mistakes. 24th”. Already the leg to the first control (shown above) looks like an interesting one. How would you approach the leg? Following Palmqvist’s route? Running down to the field? Up to the top?

Use the link above to see all of the course: Nice classic orienteering with several legs with interesting route choice options!

Dåligt vägval i början och sedan en massa små missar. 24:a 84.16
