Orienteering

[Dr Who?]

Just a couple of weeks ago I asked my daughter what she did at school, and the normal stuff came up, English, Mathis, and science. Then she said PE. I proceeded by asking what sports she did, and she said orienteering, at which I laughed and said that's not a sport. This went on for a bit, and I made the comment, that I would wait until I see it on sky sports.

 

I have not thought about it at all until today, when I switched on sky sports news and between 7.50 and 7:55, there was an article on orienteering, and I nearly spat out my cornflakes. I have to admit it did look interesting especially the one in the dark.

 

Still even after watching the piece on sky sports news, this was still very close to going in the lounge.

 

Anyone done this?

Yes,cross country running for smart bastards. Even won a couple of races in Wales once upon a time.Orienteering is a rich man's sport nowadays though. So runners if you can read a map and follow a compass and you're tired of jogging round housing estates give it a try.
