What To Bring Orienteering
This is a suggested list of what to bring with you:
- Some clothes that may
get wet and or muddy, the club has o-tops but if you have a tendancy to
'feel' the cold you should bring clothes to wear underneath. Shoes are
bound to get muddy, and something to change into afterwards.
- Either something to eat for lunch or some money as we usually go to a pub afterwards for lunch.
- A compass if you have one BUT do not worry the club has some to lend you
- A whistle BUT again the club has some to lend you
- A
clear plastic bag of some sort for the map is a good idea, this is used
to keep the map dry as they have a tendancy to disintegrate if they get
wet.
- A red pen to mark the map.
- Something to drink is normally not a bad plan
- Training sessions are obviously free but for events (which are more fun) you need some money to pay for transport (around £4.00) and for the event (around £4.00)
- Something waterproof to wear - it is Britain afterall (there is an occasional rule that you have to carry waterproofs or you are not allowed to start)
This list is
just a suggestion, if you do not have all of the items on the list do
not worry, if you are really concerned you can e-mail damian.brennan (at) gmail.com and ask. |
