  1. Indoor #orienteering in the local IKEA shop. It was fun 🏃‍♂️🙌😊🎉

  2. I was pretty happy with my #Orienteering run today! There were few landmarks to help navigate properly. The map wasn’t up-to-date, nor was it an O map, just a basic hiking map on a tiny 1:25,000 scale. More than before, I followed the bearing consistently, no matter how steep or impassable the terrain was. And I counted my steps the whole time. You won’t get far here any other way. For me, that’s a whole new level of confidence!

  7. A new training reality + Peak Raid Eyam

    I have new training zones and they scare me. My first run last week with the new zones was an hour in z2. Previously this translates to about 5mins/km - 4:50mins/k but now I had to discover what the new paces would be. This meant starting out at what seemed to be an uncomfortable pace at the start and it took about a k and a half for me to hit the zone. Eventually I seemed to settled into it, but it felt much more like what I felt like a tempo pace was. The end felt hard, but soon I ticked […]

  11. I'm quite happy with how this compass exercise turned out, rather than making the exercise easier and leave a few areas visible before the controls I decided to add them behind the controls to allow people to fail and correct themselves quickly.

    Correcting misstankes before they become large ones is such an important skill.

  16. #Orienteering with the Austrian Army today. 10 km with 480 m EG. A very difficult course; the unanimous opinion was: championship level! We had just a small-scale 1:25,000 hiking map, without the many clues found on a typical O map. A large number of trails aren’t even marked, which was more distracting today than usual. I shouldn’t have just estimated the distances, but should have consistently tracked the minutes and steps… Now chilling in the sun!

  22. My first orienteering event: I had a blast.

    It was a mix of different types of exercises. Scored 17/24 checkpoints. Twice I made a big mistake while drawing on the map to solve an exercise, which made me do extra kilometers.

  36. Bill Gauld's #HolyroodPark, 1975. A map which was used for many years. When surveyed, the park was still grazed. Fewer whins and not many trees. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Edinburgh #Orienteering #Maps #EUOC

  40. Bishop's Wood 1981. This Staffordshire pine wood contains the remains of an old glass factory. It was used a lot between 1976 and 1986 but has long been missing from the fixture lists. #OldOrienteeringMap #Orienteering #Map #WrekinOrienteers This was my last ever run in the #JK.
