Orienteering is available at Ern Halliday.

Orienteering is finding a destination point on the land using a map and/ or compass to navigate. The group is shown how to read a map and distinguish between the different features on it by using the legend. With this knowledge participants can tackle the practice course, finding each check point. Then it's on to the main event, with the group starting the main course. Instructors can make the course a relay race to add an element of competition for your group.
