DVO Map Hunt!

Finishers and a different feather banner at our Shipley Park event in early November!

Many of you will have seen our new feather banner at recent events. It was crafted by our son Matthew, who was given the brief to come up with something to match the Start and Finish banners and the club tops. We couldn’t supply him with any original artwork so he set about looking for suitable contours etc. and found some on a DVO map.

So here’s the challenge … can you find the DVO map he used for the contours? And where on that map are they to be found?

Let us know by November 30th. Send to lester44@btinternet.com. All correct answers will be put into a hat and the chosen winner announced at the Club Champs, this year to be held at NOC’s Strawbry Hill & Ransom Wood EML event on Sunday 21 December.

The prize? Obviously the club members’ ongoing admiration and respect for your knowledge and tenacity and perhaps something more tangible with a Christmassy feel.

Happy hunting ….. Lester and Judith
