Orienteering

Orienteering combines intellectual strategy with endurance and fitness. It is easy to learn how to orienteer, but the challenges the sport provides are endless.

Take part in a one off event or find a club to join.

Take sufficient supplies: With such high output sports it’s important to eat a good breakfast and lunch. Pack high energy snacks such as muesli bars or barley sugars in case you get tired and keep hydrated.

Make sure you use the Outdoor Safety Code as a guide for essential preparation, complete your Outdoors Intentions, use the links below and have a great time.
