Orienteering
by Barry Aldworth Hello,
this is Barry Aldworth reporting on the orienteering in which 6th
class took part. The class part organised but it was mainly organized
by our teacher and an assistant with an orienteering background Lyn
Stam. We
were lucky in the way that Lyn was able to supply all of the equipment
but for the maps of the schoolground which was where we did it. We
were each given a map and Lyn then went around placing the flags and
writing up the clues to help us find the flags. Some of the flags were
difficult to find but most were easy. The harder ones were so
difficult that some orienteering experts could not find them.
It was a very enjoyable activity and something everyone and
anyone could do because you don’t need to be agile or intelligent to
do this. One thing you do need is a map and a compass. Anyone who is
reading this I would encourage them to give it a try because it is a
very enjoyable activity in which old and young can take part together
as win or lose you will really enjoy yourself with this activity and
you would never know get good at this today and you could be exploring
the world tomorrow. |
