Orienteering

This is a great traditional activity to challenge you both mentally through developing map reading skills and physically depending on whether you decide to run, jog or walk the course!
 

Great for Brownies through to adult groups. We have a permanent course laid out on the main site complete with maps, compasses and instruction sheets and fixed control points. Explore the site in small groups or as part of a challenge with points for the most control points found or the fastest teams round a set number of points.

 
We also provide sets of blank maps of the site and temporary stations in the form of ‘kite’ markers so you can set your own courses to make easier or more challenging courses. You could even link it to a quiz and have questions at each control point to check it has been visited and to link to your theme or topic.

The orienteering equipment is available per session; morning 9-12; afternoon 1-4pm and evening 5-9pm. Please visit our fees page for the cost per session, alternatively if you are setting up your own course you can book for a full day for the same price. You can book as many sessions as you like.
