Orienteering on a Sunday afternoon

On the agenda for this fine Sunday: Orienteering!
Scouts from the Troop are ready to run around on the picturesque plot & horse farm in Crowethorn. With compasses and clues set up and printed by myself in the hands of the teams of scouts, they're ready to set off and try get the fastest times and answer all the questions that I've put up along the way...


To set up the course and the route for the Scouts takes a lot of hard work. Beforehand, I have to walk the way myself, taking bearings at every turn and write it down. This is where one's mapping skills come in handy.   


Well done to Caitlin and Danielle for winning the event, they completed the route in the fastest time and answered all of the questions correctly



And a big thank you to everyone else who attended!
