Note
Thinking back to the first day of the A meet in Chicago a week and a half ago, and to all the comments about how flat it was, I thought I would look in the archives for maps of a couple of places that I've orienteered that were definitely flatter.
Found one of them so far, day 1 of the Austrian 5-Day in 1996. The contour interval was 5 meters, though all I can find on the map is a couple of very short form lines. But because of all the other stuff on the map, the orienteering was quite cool. And it did get hillier towards the end, I think we had to cross a couple of low earth walls....
The other place was on the island of Gotland off the east coast of Sweden. Definitely not fun, not at all. Maybe I destroyed the maps?
