Sam likes maps, and is becoming quite good at using a road atlas. A sport that combines maps with charging round the great outdoors has got to be a winner. Norfolk Orienteering Club organised a "Try Orienteering" event that sounded just the job.
We chose to do an "orange" course, which is very easy but a decent length, and Sam loved the whole thing. We found 20 of the 21 map references (known as controls), and the 21st had been stolen from its tree, and although worn out by the end, the little star had a great time and has asked when we're going orienteering again.
Sam finished fourth on the Orange course in a time of 33:52.

Sam and his dad did really well - They were 4th! Hope to see you at an event again soon!

We really enjoyed it, thanks. Do you know the name of the young lady who took a photo of Sam on the swing?
