Old KIMM courses

Yes, I've got some dating back to the 1980's. No easier or harder than
today's courses. What are you looking for? You'll have to provide your own
maps, which are 1:40,000 for the event.

So since I'm doing the LAMM and (hopefully) KIMM this year, I thought
I'd better get a bit more idea of what I've let myself in for. Does
anyone out there have copies of the KIMM maps/control descriptions for
any of the old KIMMs held in the Howgills (or elsewhere in northern
England I suppose)? It'd be nice to find out 'on the ground' just how
hard the navigation is :-)
I tried asking on the KIMM forum but no reply, I don't think many
people read it before applications open in July or whenever it is.

What have you got? I mentioned the Howgills because they're
relatively close and I have the Harveys 1:40000 map which I think was
the one used for the KIMM. We're in the C for the LAMM, not sure what
class we'll pick for KIMM but probably Long Score.

Not got Howgills, was marshalling on that one. Going to see a mate at
weekend who was on it, so will ask him if he kept details; might get lucky.
Have got

1981 Langdale/Wasdale. All classes by two letter reference. Letters on pre
printed map, which I might be able to copy. Otherwise A route by grid refs.

1984 Glossop. All classes by grid ref.

1985 Troutbeck/Threlkeld. All classes by grid ref.

1986 Dumfries and Galloway. all classes by grid ref.

LAMM used to be called Saunders, but they had a different way of doing
things in those days, and details are not as clear. Best to forget those.
Presumably LAMM do their own thing anyway.

Apart from the actual navigating I always found the hardest part was getting
used to the 1:40,000 scale of the competition maps. Used to take in a couple
of orienteering events just to "get the feel" a few weeks before the event.

Mail me direct if interested.

Have tried mailing you but it didn't like your address so I've probably
guessed wrong at how to un-mung it! Any clues?

If you have not had any success yet, I have the results book from the
Howgills
event in 1977. Will try scanning the page with the control
descriptions and
mail direct. We certainly had no problem with navigation in the 'B'
class.
The 'A' class event based at Peebles the following year was a lot
tougher

Cheers,
