| Notes |
CANCELLED as Coillte has refused to issue an orienteering permit to us for 21st September. A pity, as the area is one of our best, if not the best, for orienteering. The area was first mapped in 1979 by Col. Berty Kelly of Southern Orienteers and a number of Munster League events were held there in the 1980's. Sep 21 DROMANA WOOD, Villierstown (A Grade 1 area with lots of depressions, will be used for a Regional or National Championship event in 5 to 10 years time) New area MUNSTER LEAGUE Mapper and Course Planner: SC SI timing for all courses Maps issued after the Start for the longer courses Part of the Villiers-Stuart estate which had over 40,000 acres of mature oaks and beeches.
