Klaas Wynne (Wijnne) mapping

Based in Glasgow, I specialise in orienteering mapping using publicly available LiDAR data, Normalised Difference Vegetation Density (NDVD) analysis, and modern triple-band GNSS positioning technology. The majority of my maps are used by Clydeside Orienteers (CLYDE). Recent maps include the Doon Hill & Fairy Knowe map, first used for the Junior European Cup 2025 (JEC) and Veteran Home International 2025 (VHI) forest relays in October 2025; the Kelvin South urban sprint map, used for the 26th Glasgow Parks Champs in November 2025; and the Croy Hill map, used for SoSOL 3 in March 2026. My preference is for rough Scottish terrain (forests, marshes, muirs, hills) although I have made some urban/sprint maps.
