Orienteering is a challenging outdoor
adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body. The aim is
to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a unique orienteering
map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest
time. It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, as you can run,
walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace.
Orienteering can take place anywhere from remote forest and countryside to urban
parks and school playgrounds. It’s a great sport for runners, joggers
and walkers who want to improve their navigation skills or for anyone who loves
the outdoors. Orienteering - The adventure sport for all! Lots more
