Orienteering
Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises
both the mind and the body. The aim is to navigate in sequence between
control points marked on a unique orienteering map and decide the best
route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter
how young, old or fit you are, as you can run, walk or jog the course
and progress at your own pace.
