Discovering Orienteering: Skills, Techniques, and Activities

everything you want to know about orienteering and even some activities to learn the sport

The book itself is great - lots of practical tips. I've been doing orienteering for several years, but still I've learned much from this book. The only significant drawback in my opinion is the low quality of illustrations in kindle edition. They are of extremely low resolution and nothing could be discerned on most of them =( I've reported this to Amazon, but there was no update/fix.

This book was exactly what I wanted as a beginning orienteer. I learned the hints and tips from two great coaches and look forward to putting these into practical use.The book is laid out in a way that builds on previous material, contains a little history, and personal examples (and some humor) from the coaches.

This book has an excellent format and teaches techniques that are easily to apply. After may years of navigating slowly, using dead reckoning learned from the military, I could not grasp that navigation with a map and compass could be faster than a GPS. Now I understand and am a believer. I credit my increase in speed to a better understanding of the map and how to utilize it along with principles taught in the book to plan my route.

Excellent book for novice to advanced racers. Has changed my way of map reading and race planning. I had never counted steps during a race. Used this and other techniques in a recent race, and blazed through the course. I highly recommend this read.

Excellent book. Exceeded my expectations. Well written and comprehensive. For beginner and expert alike. The three chapters on navigation are particularly useful for both the orienteer and anyone who just needs to find his or her way across the terrain. Military people should add these ideas to their knowledge base. It will enhance their skills.

Great over view of the sport of orienteering.I woud have like to see more examples and maps to help new orienteers learn the skills.I am so glad we have this book available in the US.Nicely done!

Great introduction and history of US orienteering. I love the skills that are taught and even enjoy reading a different perspective of those that I have already mastered.

La prima parte del libro si salta se si ha un minimio di conoscenza di questo particolare sport, il resto nella norma.
