What is Orienteering?

* Orienteering is a sport requiring the use of a map and compass to navigate around a

preset course through unfamiliar terrain.

* Courses are a series of controls (check points) marked on the map and in the forest

with flags (markers).

* Controls are accurately mapped features and the markers are clearly visible as

identified.                 

* Objectives include finding and following the best route to complete the course as quickly as possible with the fewest errors.
