MAP INFO
Blue Lake
ISSOM
Scale: 1:4,000
Contours: 2.5m
Remapped: 2015 by Ales Hejna
Elevation: 1,170m (approx)
Last used: 2005 for a club event
TERRAIN DESCRIPTION
As can be seen on the old map, there is a grouping of old buildings (unoccupied) in the centre of the map, suitable for urban-type sprinting, surrounded by open forest with a reasonable network of trails. The extreme north and south ends of the map have more limited trail network and the ground cover of moss and kinnikinnik (bearberry) can reduce running speed.
