Take a walk on the wild side (and find your way back)

Article Abstract:

Orienteering is the sport of hiking in unknown areas with the aid of a map to reach a specific destination. Competitive orienteering involves using the map to find checkpoints and to reach the finish line first. It only requires knowledge of how to read a map and use a compass and is fun for the whole family.
