  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.

  30. #orienteering pro tip: start in open classes to be able to choose who you want to overtake (you). [Works only if they share courses with competition classes.] Or just walk up to the start and feel like a VIP jumping the queue. Return to competition centre unlimited times for forgotten equipment without any extra stress.

  32. Gullane Dunes and Archerfield Estate 1979. Much of the area - the wooded bit to the east has been lost to golf and the big southern open area is the famous Muirfield course. Dunes are still used and hosted the Scottish Championships. #OldOrienteeringMap #Orienteering #Map #Interlopers #EastLothian

  36. Dalswinton 1981, Harvey's Map Service. Once again an area that was mostly felled after use. It was excellent terrain at the time. Usual Harveys clarity. The forest, now mainly Sitka is just north of Dumfries. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Orienteering #Maps #SolwayOrienteers

  41. I sometimes feel it is an inherent, unsurmountable problem in #orienteering that it is a sport that attracts individualists but would heavily rely on cooperation to avoid overtaxing and burnout in those who commit themselves to the sport beyond mere participation in competitions. Is this only because we are far from reaching a critical mass where things start getting easier?

  43. Waterhouses 1981. Near Durham and used for BUSF (the universities championships of the time) individual. The course was on two maps. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Orienteering #UniversityOfDurham #Maps
