Orienteering at school for ages 13-15, Chapter 45: IMPLEMENTATION

 IMPLEMENTATION

Generally

The following courses check if the students can orientate the map correctly (red to red), and plan and move between several locations in an unknown and some hilly area (e.g. a small forest close to the school). Students will visit a number of check points (controls) without code numbers and punch at the controls the students have on the map. In this example, there are 14 controls placed in the terrain (see the master map below).
