Orienteering is a race around a course with no set route. It is both a physical and mental challenge with the aim being to navigate between fixed control points marked on a unique orienteering map in the quickest time by deciding the best route for you.
You can run, jog or walk - it's your choice, but remember, the quickest route may not always be the shortest! For this event there is also an opportunity to have a go at mountain bike orienteering As you visit each control point you record your progress on an electronic timing chip, and at the end you will get a print out of your times. The main thing about orienteering is it is an outdoor fun activity suitable for all ages.
Qualified coaches will be on hand to give help and advice before you start a course. There will be suitable courses for all ages and abilities - especially juniors and families. Wear suitable active clothing and footwear.
