An orienteering map in Iceland!



Mary and I are planning a trip to Iceland and we've done some poking around trying to find out if there is any orienteering in Iceland. We hadn't had any luck...until today.

Mary was looking at the 1/2004 issue of O-Sport (back in the days when Martin Gregor was the editor) that includes an interview with Perola Olsson. Olsson is a mapper and accompanying the interview was the clip of a map in Iceland. Sweet!

Now what I need to do is get in touch with Perola Olsson. So, if anyone knows how to contact Olsson, please let me know.

I think Perola lives in Hong Kong. Donno how to contact him, but there might be some o-homepages there you may search.
 
Why does it all appear to be out-of-bounds? Or is it all fight or something?

It is yellow - open terrain.

indeed he is married to a HKOC member. here is his contact info from my 2004 O-ringen clinics packet:

You can try also over Peo Bengtsson (www.wwop.se), because WWOP is a sponsor of those maps. Peo and Perola could have also some contacts in Iceland - at O-ringen clinics 1999 was somebody from Iceland.
 
If you still want to know more about orienteering in Iceland, let me know. We have created an orienteering club now and our web site is rathlaup.is
My name is Christian Peter MacLassen and I have 16 years of orieneering experience. We have a 3-days event comming up next year called ICE-O. Come and join us!
