A very technically challenging area of fine negative contour detail, with an intricate mix of vegetation thrown in. One of the mappers (Ivar Helgesen of Norway) suggested that it was perhaps not an appropriate venue for a Canadian Championships — that it would better serve for a World Championships. Enough said.A map sample can be seen here.
