Understanding the information on your map and also what the control feature is that you are looking for are key parts of successful orienteering.

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.

South London Orienteers (SLOW) have produced a series of eight videos showing different techniques used in orienteering.
The videos are presented by different athletes from the GB Orienteering team and filmed in different locations.
