We have a series of Orienteering challenges and tasks available to our customers, whereby groups use hand held GPS devices to navigate around forests and estates to locate Orienteering punches and markers hidden deep in woodlands. Every marker found equals points on the board!!!
We have three types of GPS Orienteering Hunts available; on Mountain Bike, while Off Road Driving or On Foot.
All Hunts follow the same Orienteering procedures; it’s up to you which method of transport you wish to embark on!
Orienteering has been described as “walking while playing chess”. It is easy to learn how to orienteer, but the challenges it provides are ideal for Team Building. Orienteering offers an intellectual challenge in addition to ordinary physical exercise (the amount of exercise depends on the group and each challenge can be physical or mental). (Tasks can be added to waypoints).
