Orienteering

What is orienteering? Orienteering is a competitive form of land navigation. It is for all ages and degrees of fitness and skill. It provides the suspense and excitement of a treasure hunt. The object of orienteering is to locate control points by using a map and compass to navigate through the terrain on the map. The course may be as long as 10 km and is usually in a wooded area.

Orienteering is a sport of mind and body. To get to your destination effectively, you have to calculate (mind) and select the best route. The body part comes in when you have to traverse the route chosen. A route can be short, steep, long, flat, straight, curve, etc. It is the decision of the orienteer to pick the best effective route for their body. If one picks a bad route (ie. too steep to go up or come down, forest too dense to go through, too many dangerous plants to cross, etc.), you'll need to back track and pick a different route and go around. Take the time to calculate your route and you will save your body from injuries and/or wasted energy. It will also forces you make decisions when under pressure. Can you make the most effective choices when under pressure?

Which do you think is a more important tool in an orienteering course, a map or a compass?
