Who this orienteering log is for
This log is for orienteers navigating with map and compass through forests, parks and cities, from families on their first permanent course to club members racing in competitions. It suits beginners learning to read contours and experienced orienteers chasing faster times and cleaner routes. Orienteering rewards careful reflection, and reviewing each course, split times and route choices is the best way to understand mistakes and improve your navigation.
How to use your orienteering log
Record each course with date, location, length, climb and result on the courses page. Write your split times for every control. Use the review page to note route choices, mistakes and time lost, and what you would do differently. Track skills such as compass bearings, contour reading and relocation. Check your kit before events, including compass, whistle and suitable shoes.
