Where are they now #27: Simon Beck - Attackpoint : Orienteering training, racing, running, navigation, and fitness

Anyone who wondered what he was up to these days (I guess those of you in the UK may know) - he's making his mark in the snow. Which brings to mind a few anecdotes of his career as a mapper and orienteer.

HAHAHA in shorts and t-shirt as well, probably saves the boiler suits until the temp hits -20C. Great job Simon

Man that is awesome. I was always a fan of Simon's anecdotes and stories -- never was afraid to call it as it is.

Woow. Way better than my screen saver. Glad Simon has copyrighted the photos, could be worth a few bob in the right hands.

An article about this on cnn today. Then found another version in the DailyMail Online 6 months after the one posted at the top here. I wonder if they're by the same author :) 'tis the season I guess. Very cool designs.

Our favorite British mapper and orienteer Simon Beck is featured in a short piece on the Weather Channel this week, with another collection of snow patterns even more amazing than last year's.

My sister-in-law saw that piece and mentioned it, not realizing he's an orienteer, and I was able to reply, "Yeah, I've met that guy".
