What type of training do you want?

The skills and experience of everyone in PFO are different, therefore everyone's training needs differ.
If there is any specific topic that you feel that you would like some training in then please let Gillian know.

Orienteering Foundation Training Day

12 PFO members took part in todays training day at Haverthwaite.
Everyone enjoyed the exercises and a chance to orienteer in the forest, although for some it may have been a bit too strenuous!
Other sessions should hopefully be planned for later in 2020.
How well do you know your map and control symbols?
Understanding the information on your map and also what the control feature is that you are looking for are key parts of successful orienteering.
