Introduction

One of the great things about orienteering is being off-trail. I see so many interesting things while running through the woods that I wouldn't just hiking on a trail! I really "see" the terrain around me now.

Have you done any orienteering before? If so, where and how much?

I've been orienteering for about 12 years and really enjoy it. I first tried it in northern CA to help with my kayak navigation skills, but enjoyed it so much that I've continued ever since with all kinds of orienteering. I especially like night courses!

What other kinds of outdoor activities do you participate in?

Sea kayaking, hiking, camping, cycling, etc.

  • Thanks for all the hard work that went into putting together the orienteering outing. Please pass that along to the other organizers .... I KNOW that we can't begin to imagine all the behind-the-scenes effort that went into it ..... and you guys always had a smile on your faces.

  • Hi Ellen,

    I've been thinking about the idea of an orienteering outing for some time now. I've wanted to go out and do some whale-watching in my kayak, but have thusfar been a bit reluctant because I assume I would be out of sight of the land. If the orientiering works out well, I would like to organize a whale / dolphin watch. Great Idea !
