It may be called “virtual”, but there’s nothing virtual about the terrain, the exercise and the navigation … using your smartphone (or alternatively your Garmin smart watch), MapRun offers a new dimension of socially distanced orienteering while still giving a challenge. All you need to do is to load the free app, choose a course, get there and start!
If you’d like to try orienteering while socially distancing, then a permanent course might be just right for you. It enables you to follow a map and find the controls in your own time.
For those new to orienteering there is a new Orienteering Foundation video Permanent Orienteering Courses – Discover an Outdoor Adventure to give you an idea of what to expect.
Our next training activity will be at St. Martha's Hill, south of Guildford on Saturday 7th February, 12.00-14.00 pm. As usual there will be two beginners' practise loops; some exercises to hone you…
16 Gophers ran at Star Posts, the rain held off and it was surprisingly dry underfoot.
Tom, Martin and Pete all achieved gold standard. We'd expect nothing less but well done anyway!
WHAT CAN YOU DO? - We can support you if you are a beginner or have previous experience and want to improve.-- Choose orienteering for your physical or skills section.
HOW WILL WE HELP YOU? - Our clubs are happy to be assessors, monitor and sign off activities.
