Orienteering

Orienteering is a sport that requires navigational skills using a map and compass. These are used for finding your way from one point to the other. This is normally at speed on foot whilst going over unfamiliar terrain, usually in a forest. You go around the course finding a series of controls placed around the course using an orienteering map. The amount of time it takes you to complete the course is recorded, however some people do not regard it as a race and you are advised to go at your own pace.
