BOF Annual Mapping Awards 2024: Chichester Trophy Winner – Simon Errington (HH)

27 April 2025

Simon is awarded the Chichester Trophy for the Ashridge North Map. He produced a very clear, good-looking map with excellent cartography. Path junctions were good, with a very few less-than-minimum size vegetation areas.

The Chichester Trophy is awarded for the best map produced by an amateur mapper.

Simon Errington receives the Chichester Trophy for designing a completely new survey and cartography based on Lidar data of an area never mapped before.

The area includes a wide variety of terrain including the College Lane campus of the University of Hertfordshire. It was first used for the Hatfield South Urban Race on 18 August 2024.

Standard urban problems of continual building works in the weeks leading up to the event caused multiple late updates, however, the map presents very clearly, displaying excellent cartography.
