Orienteering

Orienteering means maps, varied terrain and adventure. It doesn't matter how young or old or fit you are. You can run, jog or walk; you decide your own pace. Orienteering is a sport where you can navigate your way between control points marked on a specially drawn map ….and it's FUN!

Orienteering can take place anywhere from remote forest and countryside to urban parks and school playgrounds. The most challenging orienteering takes place in remote areas which have demanding terrain and fewer paths.

With the aid of a Big Lottery Fund grant, Devon County Council in conjunction with the property owners, have set up four permanent orienteering sites across the county. Click here to see where they are: www.orienteeringindevon.org.uk . Each site has several courses offering something for children of all ages and abilities. It's great fun for all the family too!
