Orienteering is a all season sport that contains a map, controls and a lot of thinking and running in between.
The map has keys and symbols to identify where to go. It also shows the boundaries and where to start and finish. The map is very helpful in Orienteering but you also have to orientate the map to the direction you want to head to. The map has coordinates that help you find your way back to the next control.
The controls are what you need to keep a look out for to stamp the pattern on your map where it will say1, 2, 3 and so on. It will usually go up to 15-18 controls. It also has numbers on the controls to show what is your answer and if it is the right control or not.
Also you will need to think and run hard in between. The thinking is for a
strategy you will face to complete the stamping on the controls the running is to get to the control and get a good time.
In conclusion orienteering is a brain working hart pumping sport played world wide. However despite the mud and whether [ if raining ]
GIVE IT A GO and i will promises you will enjoy it
