Seven of us met in the Botanical Gardens and learnt about naughty elephants, red to red and the story of why grass is yellow on an orienteering map.
Linda took us step by step through using a compass to take a bearing and we practiced navigating our way round the park. By the end we were confidently swivelling our compass bezels, following our direction of travel arrows and finding landmarks we never knew existed. How old was that fossilised tree Andrew?!
Annie invited us all back for hot drinks and we had a look at some different competition maps and planned our next session.
Repeat of this Orienteering first training session – Sunday 29 March, 11.00 Botanical Gardens
Orienteering training session no 2 – the safe-but-wild moors of Longshaw Sunday 26 April 11.00 meet at NT Longshaw cafe
