The Thinking Sport
Orienteering is a timed challenge to use a map and compass to navigate to several checkpoints in unfamiliar terrain in the shortest time possible.
Orienteering is usually done on foot, but can be done on skis, snowshoes, or mountain bike. Orienteering can be as extreme, or as leisurely, as you like
