Rannoch Forest map

Rannoch is a superb area, a very large and mostly runnable plantation forest with vague contoury bits, detailed contoury bits and patches of complex vegetation detail. It is largely a gentle north-facing slope, aside from a whacking great river gorge across the middle which should make for some interesting route choices.
