um, what’s orienteering?
Orienteering is a sport of competitive navigation, on rough terrain.
Competitors have to navigate sucessfully around a predefined course in the
fastest time possible, using a highly detailed and specialist map, and
compass.
Wayfaring is the non-competitive form of orienteering. You may also have heard
of rogaining, quite popular in the US, which is a form of “score” orienteering
where over several hours, competitors have to visit as many “control points”
as possible, gaining points for each.
