Orienteering.

What is orienteering?

Using map skills, participants navigate to points called controls to complete a set course. There are many different levels of difficulty available, from string and basic courses to challenge courses over a greater distance. Participants may take part individually or in small groups, and it can be run as a competition.

The objective is to complete the course in the quickest time.
