Orienteering experience

I have completed 6 hours of orienteering for an outdoor project

We did six days of hard courses at school.

My outdoor experience with orienteering was hard as I found reading the map and compass difficult. I found it easy with the running to the markers. We had to find either 10 or 13 markers and trying to finish my teams start and finish time each day. We had to get all the letters on the markers correct all the time  and the markers will be far from all the other ones.

The skills i learnt was reading map features, contours, compass and learning orinteering rules.

  2. Kia ora Blake, wow you must now be really fit if you've spent all that time completing orienteering tasks for your William Pike challenge¡ That would have been a great experience to challenge yourself to read maps. What other orienteering courses did you complete. Elizabeth K
