One of the most useful skills used in many outdoor activities or
situations is competency with a compass. Being able to combine the
use of a compass with map-reading at speed is one of the essential
skills in the sport of Orienteering.
At the
Adur Outdoor Activities Centre we have some local courses set out
around the Centre, using the adjacent fields and woodlands in the
recreation ground. We use these to introduce beginners to the sport.
There is a permanent course only 2 miles away from the Centre
that we use to develop the skills required for Orienteering to
a higher level. For longer sessions we can go further afield to
another permanent course at Queen Elizabeth Country Park in Hampshire
for a whole day out.
