Orienteering with The Adventure Team
Poor sense of direction? Trouble finding your way? This is the most fun you will have with a map without the need to get lost! Orienteering can be a good solo or team based activity. It involves navigating a sequence between control points marked on a map. The skill is deciding the best route in order to complete the course in the quickest time by walking or running. Great fun and exercise for everyone!
At The Adventure Team, we like to think of it as an adult treasure hunt with a few spot prizes waiting for those who reach various points! Of course there are benefits in going solo or working in a team, the choice is yours. This is the easiest way to learn how to map read. Orienteering with The Adventure Team will definitely bring out your competitive side and with spot prizes, you will definitely have fun!
