If you join the orienteering team cadet must use their stamina to navigate through terrain finding checkpoints with a compass and map. Racing against other schools to finish in the shortest amount of time.
The more a cadet goes up the more difficult it may be but our commander always helps us improve so when you move up will be the fastest.
When orienteering always be as safe as you can.
Orienteering levels
White - suitable for absolute beginners. Course is on trails and/or fields and is typically 2-3km long.
Yellow - for slightly more advanced beginners. Course is mostly on trails and fields with control points a short distance into the woods. There may be opportunities for those who feel able to take short cuts through the woods. Length is typically 2-3.5km.
Orange - intermediate difficulty. Mix of on- trail and off-trail, generally relying on the more obvious mapped features. Length typically 3.5 - 4.5km.
Brown - short advanced course. Off trail and reliant on the subtler features of the terrain. Length typically 3.5-4.5km with large/steep climbs deemphasized if the terrain allows.
Green - an advanced course a bit longer than brown. Length typically 4.5-5.5km.
Red - a longer advanced course. Length typically 6-8km.
Blue - the longest advanced course, not always offered in smaller parks. Length typically 8-10km.
