Thanks Niall, for an interesting twist on a Norwegian event.
At the start (and each control), there was a map for each course, showing only the next control, but the twist was that there were 2 or 3 options (1a, 1b, 1c) with a multiple choice question and the correct answer was the actual control. So if you knew that the answer was b you just had to remember where b was and how to get there (you didn’t get a map to keep).

British Schools Orienteering Championships, 2009

These were held near Newcastle at Druridge Country Park on the 22nd November. It was a great weekend with training on the Saturday afternoon, a social on the Saturday evening and then the competition itself on the Sunday. Like all orienteering events it was really well organised with a games tent for the children while they were waiting and the opportunity to speak to some of the British team who were answering questions and signing autographs.
