Introduction
Orienteering combines many elements, both physically and mentally.
One of the most important aspects of orienteering are the symbols used to produce an orienteering map. Once you learn the symbols and how to interpret them, you can orienteer anywhere in the world using the same symbols.
“Contours are for navigating, vegetation is for route choice.”
