The Up North Orienteers invite the public to come try orienteering at the Lee Town Forest in Lee, NH on Sunday, April 27th.
The arrival of Spring brings with it the desire to get outside and be active. There is no better time to try the sport of orienteering. It’s the fun recreational activity that is appropriate for people of all ages and athletic abilities. You can participate individually or with friends and family.
Orienteering is an easy to learn sport that involves navigating between points using a map and compass. Think of it as treasure hunting in the woods if you like.
Participants may register and start any time between 10 AM and 12 Noon. Experienced orienteers will be on hand at the Lee Town Forest to help newcomers learn the basics and try their first course. Several courses of different distance and navigational challenge will be offered – something for everyone!
Additional information, including directions, may be found at the Up North Orienteers web site, https://upnoor.org/event/lee-town-forest-2/ . Questions may be sent to the event organizer, Ernst Linder, at elinder@unh.edu .
