Summer Orienteering Flier and Application Form
Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport which involves walking or running whilst navigating around a course using a detailed map and sometimes a compass. The aim is to navigate in sequence 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, as you can run, walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace.
As part of the Active Schools Summer Programme we will be running 3 days of Orienteering.
Jess Tullie, Orienteering Dvelopmeng Officer will lead this.
Ages P5 to S2 are invited.
There will be 30 places available on a first come first serve basis.
