Afraid you’re relying too much on GPS? Want to practice your map reading skills? Orienteering is like a treasure hunt in the woods, using a map to find controls (box shaped flags) hanging from trees. We’ll give instructions and then you can go out alone or with friends. The course should take about an hour, if you don’t get lost. Glen, who heads the Long Island Orienteering Club, started to get temporarily lost, when he was 12, by riding east on his bike. He always made it back home.
