Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport which involves navigating around a course using a detailed map and sometimes a compass. The aim is to navigate between a set of control points and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, and you can run, walk or jog round the course and progress at your own pace.
Devon Orienteering Club seeks to encourage and promote the sport of orienteering in and around the County of Devon. Come along to an event and give it a try! All children and adults are welcome to attend Devon events and, in due course, to join the club.
If you feel the need for a mental and/or physical warm ahead of the event on November 8th why not make use of the Permanent Orienteering Course at Halden Hill, almost across the road (A38) in a very similar area?
Judging by the event website photos, it was a wet and windy day. Well done to all who went and to Adrian for completing his course despite his injury! His report below:
