Permanent
Orienteering Courses
There are many Permanent
Orienteering Courses throughout Britain which have been set up by the
local orienteering clubs. Wrekin Orienteers have established several
Courses in Shropshire which have permanent marker posts. The positions
of these markers are printed on a specially prepared map of the area
enabling anyone who has purchased a map to practice their navigational
skills.
