Page 11: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

SafetyIf you get confused, head to the south end of the pond

Do not cross any roads with cars on them!

Page 12: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

How to find South end of pond?

• Compass• Sun (will be a little east of south)• Use features on the map• Asking a passer-by where the water

treatment building is

Page 13: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

Estimating distance

• 1:5,000 One centimeter on the map is 5,000 centimeters (___ meters) on the ground.

• How big is a centimeter?• A pace is two steps. Approximately how

many of your paces make 50 meters?

Page 14: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

Orienting the map

• Hold the map parallel to the ground.• Rotate the map until the map is correctly

aligned to the ground.

• Features• Compass• Sun

Reading the Map

Page 16: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

What next?

• Teams get together and decide who will have each role

• People with the same role get together and do specialized training

• Teams get back together and plan each leg of their route

Page 17: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

How to plan a leg of your route

• A “leg” goes from one control to the next one.• Agree on the best way to get from one control to the

next.• Use a highlighter to draw the route in on a map.• Write down:

– What direction will you be heading when you leave the control at the beginning of the leg?

– What features will you see along the way? (Features include hills, reentrants, trail intersections, open areas, railroad, etc.)

– How many paces will the leg be? How many paces between features?

– What is the feature you are looking for at the next control?

Page 25: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

ExamplePlan a route from 105 to L.

Discuss this and then go to the next slide. Assume that 100 meters = 70 paces.

Home base: Start and finish

Start of leg

End of leg

Use this scaleto estimate distance

Page 26: Orienteering training 2013 fresh pond

Example: 105 to LWalk south along the trail from control 105. Along the way we will see the pond on our left beyond a fence, and a hill going up on our right. After 80 m (56 paces) we will take a trail on the right going up hill. The trail will bend to the left and then to the right. At the next bend to the left we will find our control L.
