Spend your Staycation Orienteering – the Sport of a Lifetime
December 8th, 2009
Orienteering is the sport of navigation with map and compass. It’s easy to learn, but always challenging. The object is to run, walk, ski, or mountain bike to a series of points shown on the map, choosing routes—both on and off trail—that will help you find all the points and get back to the finish in the shortest amount of time. The points on the course are marked with orange and white flags and punches, so you can prove you’ve been there. Each “control” marker is located on a distinct feature, such as a stream junction or the top of a knoll.
The US Orienteering Federation Provide a great list of orienteering clubs near you to staycation at.
