Ahhh...Orienteering.....how that brings back memories.....Fond memories?...depends on whether or not you find joy in discovering unmarked swamps, gullies, cliffs or just unpassable vegitation (which maps NEVER tell you about....

And for me that would be a "Hell Ya!!"

Did some orienteering in early high school, plus ah so many map marches while in the army. The night ones were always the most fun...

Best memories of these night time ones were while teaching recruits how to use a map. We always do a few day ones before the night...and invariably SOMEONE will sight on trees and then not be able to figure out why he is not getting where he wants to...a few hours later if I am in a naughty mood

The night ones are even more entertaining...Going on a planned night march of a couple of hours...and the first guy sights on a star..." The brightest one there, Sarge. See it?".....some times the last guys are sighting on the rising sun.....
