Orienteering basics

Orienteering basics

After some serious preparation we began our story about orienteering on September 22nd. Our guest lecturer was Mr. Dejan Avramović of the Athletic-Orienteering Club “Košutnjak”.

We learned more about orienteering. It is a sport, balance of all our predispositions, skills, maps and compass, the essence of a movement, self-control; it is unmistakable interaction between people, endless road, and appealing harmony with nature and with one’s self.

Orienteering is summer, and winter, and spring, and autumn. It is a night, a day, it is rain, sun, snow. It is a challenge and great fun; it helps us push our boundaries and provides us with an opportunity to gain new experiences. Simply put, it is a new way of life.

We can’t wait to put all we learned into practice.
