I'm quite happy with how this compass exercise turned out, rather than making the exercise easier and leave a few areas visible before the controls I decided to add them behind the controls to allow people to fail and correct themselves quickly.

Correcting misstankes before they become large ones is such an important skill.

#orienteering

#Orienteering with the Austrian Army today. 10 km with 480 m EG. A very difficult course; the unanimous opinion was: championship level! We had just a small-scale 1:25,000 hiking map, without the many clues found on a typical O map. A large number of trails aren’t even marked, which was more distracting today than usual. I shouldn’t have just estimated the distances, but should have consistently tracked the minutes and steps… Now chilling in the sun!

My first orienteering event: I had a blast.

It was a mix of different types of exercises. Scored 17/24 checkpoints. Twice I made a big mistake while drawing on the map to solve an exercise, which made me do extra kilometers.

Sprint #orienteering in Hasselt, where last year EOC took place. It was fun again, like usual. I did found everything from the first time 🥰🏃‍♂️🧭
