Orienteering - Running With a Map!

Please do not reject this again and note that Orienteeting is an internationally recognised sport!!!!!

Orienteering is a sport that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate against the clock from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain. It is included in the programs of world sporting events including the World Games.



There are different variations of this lesser-known sport, which began in the late 19th century in Sweden. Its popularity has since spread and there are now over 70 national orienteering federations, as recognised by the international orienteering federation, the governing body of the sport of orienteering.


This model shows a scene from an orienteering event. It is set on a 32x32 stud baseplate and two control points are shown in their characteristic style of two triangles in white and red. There are four minifigures shown here taking part in a competition.
