Introductory Orienteering Videos
This page contains links to 2 short introductory videos on orienteering.
This first video describes the map and how to use it. It is aimed at parks and woods where there are permanent marker posts erected by the landowner but the map and the principles are the same for an orienteering event. It also covers the legend on the map.
Permanent Orienteering Courses
This second video shows the equipment that you will carry on a finger and then how you use it on the course. The video also features the orientation (setting) of the map so that the top of your map is always held facing north, which is key to successful orienteering as everything you see then lines up with the map.
