Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport which involves walking or running whilst navigating around a course using a detailed map and sometimes a compass. The aim is to navigate in sequence between a set of control points and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. Today, our children did just that and learned many new skills along the way. Here are some pictures…
- Orientating the map to north (with ground or compass) …
- Thumbing the map…
- Reading features on the map…
- Following a compass bearing…
- Pacing…
- Judging distance…
- Navigate between control points…
and check your team’s course times!
More information about further Orienteering activities and local events will be sent home shortly, so look out for letters in book bags.
