It\u2019s a fantastic way to turn a walk or run into a game, discover new outdoor areas and improve (or learn) navigation skills at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic principle in an Orienteering race is that you navigate your way around a set of locations that are marked on a map. Some people sprint their way around the course aiming for the fastest time possible, others are trying to beat their own personal best, other people have brought the family, the dog, a picnic, and turn it into a day out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most events have a range of courses and beginners are welcome. There are often courses that stick to paths that are wheelchair or pushchair accessible and there\u2019s even a version of orienteering called Trail-O that isn\u2019t about speed at all, but all about navigational accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as special events, there are also fixed orienteering courses, where permanent wooden posts are located around a woodland or park, and you can time yourself (and challenge your friends!) around the course whenever you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-map.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398.jpg\" alt=\"Holding the official map\" class=\"wp-image-5511\" style=\"width:841px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-map.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398.jpg 759w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-map.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-running.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445.jpg\" alt=\"Mary-ann running\" class=\"wp-image-5512\" style=\"width:407px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-running.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445.jpg 331w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-running.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-control-point2.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e.jpg\" alt=\"Mary-ann using a map and compass\" class=\"wp-image-5513\" style=\"width:408px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-control-point2.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e.jpg 331w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-control-point2.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hampstead Heath in north London boasts a permanent orienteering course. My husband Joe and I decided that we\u2019d set ourselves a #GetOutside challenge to run to as many of the control points as we could in 45 minutes, turning a (potentially) boring jog into a fun game. We collected a map from the info kiosk that shows the locations of all the posts (you can also print the map off online). It\u2019s a large 1:10,000 scale, with lots of detail to help you navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though we were only racing against ourselves, I could still feel a buzz of adrenaline as we levelled the map and pressed \u2018start\u2019 on the stopwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We knew we wouldn\u2019t be able to get to all the 24 control points on the map so first off, we had to decide our tactics: aim for as many points as possible, but not so many that we\u2019d get caught out and not get back to the finish point in the time allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a Saturday afternoon and the paths were busy \u2013 it was exciting to go \u2018off piste\u2019 and gallop across the rough grassland and into the woods. We got a few looks from people wondering what we were up to, and if we hadn\u2019t been against the clock we\u2019d have stopped to tell them about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Checking off the paths and features marked on the map as we passed them, we made our way successfully to the first post \u2013 high fives and cheering! We didn\u2019t get lost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On an organised orienteering event, the control points are marked by red and white flags. This permanent course has natural wooden posts which can blend in to the undergrowth. It made the second post really hard to spot. On the map it showed that the post was on a mound within a wooded area. We were pretty certain we were in the right place, so split up to scour the area to find the pesky post. Then Joe saw the squared edges and the label at the top \u2013 Number 12! Yesssss. On to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-control-point.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398.jpg\" alt=\"A map and control point\" class=\"wp-image-5514\" style=\"width:841px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-control-point.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398.jpg 759w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-control-point.f358dcb3a1cf35814fef4b657db6f398-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-finished.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e.jpg\" alt=\"Smiling faces\" class=\"wp-image-5515\" style=\"width:410px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-finished.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e.jpg 331w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-finished.ad7112de47096da8e7bfe1b205b6dd2e-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-mud.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445.jpg\" alt=\"muddy running shoes\" class=\"wp-image-5516\" style=\"width:406px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-mud.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445.jpg 331w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/orienteering-mud.58c9b83afc04e49bc892472f881b2445-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Orienteering is a great test of map reading: estimating the distance you\u2019ve travelled, and ticking off features as you go, so you know what you\u2019re expecting to see as you get near your destination. They\u2019re exactly the same skills you use out walking on the hills. Doing it at a run makes it harder! You also have to decide whether it\u2019s better to take a slightly longer route on a clear path, or attempt to go more directly across rougher ground. I felt like a wildwoman of the woods, skidding down the banks and leaping over fallen trees on our natural obstacle course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a few lost minutes looking for our sixth post, we were on a roll, taking it in turns to navigate. At 39 minutes, we knew we needed to get a move on to get back to the finish in time. Legs pumping, hearts racing, we splashed through the puddles and surged our way back to the finish. 43mins 37 seconds. WHOOO!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At an orienteering race you have an electronic timer that gives you a print out of your course, time and score and you can immediately see how well you\u2019ve done compared to other people and chat to other runners about their tactics and the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, it was just me and Joe.
