Lanton – then and now

Lanton Moor has been used by RR since 1975 when Andrew Hewat, who was living in Lanton village at the time, hand-drew the first black and white map of the area at 1:10,000 with 8metre contours.  The name Lanton Moor dates back to pre-forestation days.  The first colour map followed shortly afterwards, in 1977, at a scale of 1:15,000 and with 25ft contours.  This was surveyed by Andrew and scribed by Harveys.

The 2011 version is back at 1:10,000,  with 5 metre contours and a new extension to the northwest.  The map is looking good and Ian Maxwell’s courses will keep you on your toes.  We hope to see you on the day.
