WORLD ORIENTEERING DAY WOD - A record breaking event

On Wednesday May 11th 2016, the first ever World Orienteering Day took place all over the world. It proved to be a great success, with more than 250 000 participants all around the world taking part in an orienteering event.

World Orienteering Day has been growing every year and last year, 2019, the total number of participants in the forth World Orienteering Day stood at 398 756 participants at 2216 locations in 85 countries and territories. What was once only an idea, had come to be a reality beyond what anyone could have hoped for. Schools, clubs and enthusiasts from all over the world made a fantastic contribution, and together managed to set a world record. With the collaboration between schools and orienteering clubs, the World Orienteering Day may just become the most important activity for the global development of orienteering. All clubs can make a fantastic contribution that benefits both education at school and orienteering development of the sport to recruit youngsters. Cool, awesome and educational! Do you want to join us? To get more information regarding World Orienteering Day and ”Skol-Sprinten” (a Swedish project), please contact: Göran Andersson, see page 86.

ORIENTEERING IS EASY! Orienteering at school is easy to implement if you are well prepared. From our experience, there are many reasons why orienteering should be taught at schools. The lack of availability of teaching materials and lack of preparation time are the key impediments to teaching orienteering in schools. Access to learning materials, primarily maps, compasses, orienteering markers and punching systems are very different in schools today. The Swedish National Agency for Education through its revision of the curriculum, required municipalities and schools to implement teaching in an adequate and relevant manner to judge the student’s level on a based grading system. During ages 7-12 years, students achieve a certain knowledge of orienteering in “known environment”. During the Ages 13-15 years students achieve equivalent knowledge of orienteering in “unknown environment”. The “known environment” means the campus/grounds and its immediate vicinity. The unknown environment refers nearby forest areas of outdoor character. Based on experience from the project ”Skol-Sprinten”, ”World Orienteering Day” and in close cooperation with the PE teachers at primary and secondary school we have an idea of how to make orienteering more accessible at school. With these guidelines, we want to create better conditions for the education of orienteering at school. We also believe in a map that corresponds to reality, finalised exercises in a pedagogical approach and orienteering equipment that helps teachers to create fun lessons in orienteering. This ”Teacher’s guide” will hopefully inspire all of you! Dala-Husby, Sweden, January 20th 2020 Göran Andersson

COOL, AWESOME and EDUCATIONAL! Full speed to the first check point. The flash from the tag confirms the punch. Orientating the map using red to red - compass red needle points at the red edge of the map. The stone on the lawn! The teacher points east. Where is it on the map? The student considers. Rotating the map. Glancing at friend’s thumb. “There, there it is” pointing vigorously to a black point. “Good! Anyone else who knows?” This is real Orienteering. Cool! Second control. “Where now”?? “That way!” “OK, then we’ll see you there.” Full speed again. Someone takes the lead, you find a control. Some others hesitate. Viewing map, red to red. Changing direction and finding the right control. An extra marker is placed at another tree and a discussion arises. This is real Orienteering. Awesome! “When can I run by myself? I can do this first as an introduction course, then Challenge 1 and Challenge 2. 40 minutes of vigorous activity and 60 controls have been found at most. Sweaty, smiling kids make me happy. I’m feeling satisfied and fortunate to experience teaching in this way. “Will you come tomorrow too?” I’m somewhat shocked. Sprint back to school. This is real Orienteering. Educational! “May I run one more course? Did I get the right check points? Did I run faster than the last lap?” The questions come quick and fast. I scan the tag, tear off the split time strip and give it to the curious boy with long running legs from Somalia. “I want to start orienteering” he says spontaneously. “Fun! Come to our training tonight. We are here, at the same place. But new challenges, of course!” “Hi, see you tonight! Skol-Sprinten has arrived. This is real Orienteering. Cool, Awesome and Educational! Skol-Sprinten is an orienteering project, implemented by Dalaportens OL and financed mainly with funds from Sport Foundations. Skol-Sprinten has been implemented at the primary level at eleven schools in the Avesta, four schools in Borlänge and one school in Säter. Over 3000 students have run as if hounds after fleeing hares. They found and punched 120,000 orange-white markers and 650 meters of timing records have been printed. The approach to orienteering has changed dramatically as a result. 90% of the young students thought it was ”good fun”, 8% ”fun” and 2% ”OK fun”. Sprint Orienteering at school is valuable and an important key for international orienteering to grow through. It’s also an educational asset to any school to develop and improve students’ knowledge of map reading, problem solving and perform orienteering in a fun way. Map knowledge is today an important part of the school curriculum and teachers need help in getting education materials and assistance in implementing their lessons to

inspire student learning. School Orienteering can be used to help the school to achieve its goals while concurrently attracting a future generation of orienteers. Sprint Orienteering on school property is both known and safe for students. Many detailed, continuous direction changes and frequent feedback when the students find the orange-white markers provide some very good educational experiences for students. They learn map skills, spatial understanding and decision making when selecting routes between controls. Mistakes can be rectified, and learning reinforced. They just need to get back to the beginning and start again. Sprint is better than forest orienteering for learning orienteering in a fast and simple way. The concept is developed, we have inspiration and enthusiasm. The aim of this booklet is that you as a teacher have an educational tool to guide your teaching of orienteering for “Ages 6-15” to enable you to deliver lessons that stimulate physical activity with fun. Welcome to a new world, with map and compass!

THE PROJECT ”SKOL-SPRINTEN” Intro

We begin, depending on the weather, either in the gym or outdoors to explain the map colours, the map’s symbols and how to orientate the map using the compass ”red-to-red”. Because the compass sits smoothly on the wrist, it is very easy to orientate the map to reality. Then the instructor runs with the students in groups to all controls. At each control, the instructor repeats ”orientate the map” - ”red to red,” pointing out some objects and starts a dialogue about how the objects are drawn on the map.

Students show the instructor where the object is on the map and take a new direction to the next checkpoint and repeat the steps. Students should work together 2 or 3 in each group. Then, at their own speed, they run the same course, individually or in groups. The target is to find all the controls.

Equal time

After school, during volunteer time, we put on a ”competition” in orienteering. The difficulty level is equivalent to ”Challenge 1-2” and the participants can walk, jog or run the course. The students perform the course at least twice. The time of the first lap the students have to ”dot” on the next lap. They are free to try as many times as they want. The student who comes closest to her/his first time i.e. ”equal time” is the winner of the competition.

WHAT IS A MAP? Google Earth has opened up a whole new world of amazing experiences of how the Earth’s different parts look like. Google Earth is a graphical 3D application whose purpose is to show the earth from above. It uses aerial photographs, satellite imagery and GIS information over the earth, and these join to form a mosaic of a virtual globe. In the programme you can enter a location, zoom in down to city and street level. Everywhere on earth you can distinguish lakes, cities and rivers, and in most inhabited areas, you can see major traffic routes, parks, squares etc. In the areas with higher resolution individual buildings, streets, bridges, cars and in some special cases even people can be identified.

Using this software it’s much easier to understand how a traditional map is created. All maps are drawn in a unique way depending on their use - tourist maps, road maps, city maps are some maps we all use at some point. All these maps are a simplified representation of reality. The larger the area you want to map, such as the Nordic region as shown left, the less detail you can put on the map. The map becomes highly simplified in comparison with the map below. The cities of Tanumshede, Grebbestad and Fjällbacka are not on the Nordic map but on this map you can add more detail because the area is much smaller. Houses and roads (yellow colour), forest (green colour), lakes (blue colour) as well as fields and meadows (white colour) appear very clearly. This map is suitable to use when you are orienteering by bicycle or car. Tanumshede

WE ARE APPROACHING THE EARTH! The spacecraft is approaching the Earth and from above, we can see the “small ball” getting bigger and bigger. We can identify Europe, Greenland, North Africa, Asia and the Atlantic Ocean. The closer we get, the more countries we recognise. Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland are right in front of us, Iceland top left and UK bottom left. Gotland is clearly visible in the Baltic Sea as are the white icecaps in Norway and Iceland. We steer the spacecraft towards the West part of Sweden and suddenly the main road E6 between Gothenburg and Oslo appears like a winding snake through the county Bohuslän. The braking rockets light up and it’s time for landing. The goal is Fjällbacka School in the village that have become famous by Camilla Läckberg’s detective stories. The roundabout appears a little weak at long range, but becomes clearer as we get closer. This roundabout is our “last safe” or “attack point” to find the school as fast as possible. In the lower right corner we get glimpse of a brown area, the school’s football field. We focus on the brown rectangle, flying a few laps over the area. We see the school’s characteristic features and gymnastics hall clearly. We land softly on the southern part of the ball court, right next to the gymnastics hall.

The map is a simplified representation of reality and the smaller the area you want to draw, the more detail you can put on the map. On the Google Earth picture you can see houses and roads very clearly, but you can even discover trees, play equipment and soccer goals. This means that a map of a school and school yard can be very detailed. This is very important when you learn to navigate. What you see in reality is included on the map. The map becomes credible and students trust what the map shows. Having a reliable map is what makes orienteering fun!

All maps in this booklet are drawn in the international map norm for sprint maps (ISSOM or the new ISSprOM). The colours are logical and easy to understand. All houses are grey, all roads are light brown, lawns are yellow and trees are green. Fences, walls and other manmade objects are black. All that is wet is blue, e.g. lakes, streams, wells and ponds are drawn in blue. The olive green colour denotes private areas and flower beds. More colours and map symbols are described on the following pages.

MAPS WORLD WIDE Navigation is a valuable knowledge

In the curriculum for Sports and Health (Sweden), you can read the following: ”Knowledge of how to interpret the maps and drawings is essential for students to orientate themselves in different environments. In the environment, they should be able to orientate themselves in any different area. It can be anything from a shopping centre, to the forests and meadows. The curriculum has therefore decided to use the generic term “to orientate” rather than orienteering, reminiscent of the sport orienteering. Knowledge of how to orientate will of course also be used in the sport orienteering”. You can find Shopping Malls nowadays everywhere and they are also one of the most visited places. We shop, we roam, we hang out, we drink coffee and ... well, the list goes on. The Shopping Mall has almost become a tourist attraction and an experience for the whole family. All shopping centres have maps to help customers find the right department, the right business or “right product”. It also inform you as a customer so that you can find what you are looking for. The map to the right shows the largest sport stores in Scandinavia, ”Sport Shopen”, located a few kilometres south of Grebbestad.

Sweden’s most studied map, is most likely, the metro map in Stockholm. There are different versions of this map, more or less close to reality. The map to the right is the most relevant as it shows where the various metro stations located relative to each other and relative to TCentralen. It is “adapted to reality.”

Akalla 11

Today we meet maps everywhere, both analogue and digital. Still, the analogue maps are most common in the form of paper maps, nautical charts and signs in all of its forms. However, the generation of today are uses the digital maps more and more through the “smartphone” or tablet. Regardless of the form of map, it is an important piece of knowledge to understand what information a map is giving. It is important to find the right route, to navigate or to orientate to the desired goal in a smart and efficient way.

MAPS WORLD WIDE From the known to the unknown

It is well known to most sports teachers that the forest, for many students, is an unknown place, a place that scares and it easily creates an insecurity. The unknown forest, the strange big city or a new country creates tough challenges to overcome.

Waterloo BFI Imax London Eye

In London and in New York, a Swedish company, T-Kartor AB, achieved the ability to deliver large and illustrative cycle maps. In these global metropolises these maps are posted on a number of strategic locations. Each sign has a map on both sides. It is the same map but they are ”turned correctly” so that the person viewing the map, either from one or the other direction can see that the map is adapted to reality. The symbol on the right of the map is also to the right in reality. You don’t have to turn around the map in your brain to understand in which direction you are looking at. To fit the map to the reality or “red to red” is the basis for all maps understanding. This skill is very important for learning to orientate in a smart, understandable and effective way. The knowledge of this must be repeated at all stages, and it must be anchored in the beginning of the learning. The schoolyard map, not the forest map, is the best tool to use for this purpose.

THE MAP’S COLOURS The language of the map is international. In the global orienteering world it is important to understand how a map is drawn. The International Orienteering Federation (IOF) has developed an international standard for map drawing where forest maps are drawn to the ISOM (International Specification for Orienteering Maps) norm whilst urban and park maps are drawn based on ISOM but developed into ISSOM or ISSprOM (International Specification for Sprint Orienteering Maps). This standard is generally called “sprint norm” when it is used for orienteering in Sprint, Sprint Relay and Urban races.

Explanation ISOM, ISSOM and ISSprOM

ISOM: International Specification for Orienteering Maps ISSOM, ISSprOM: International Specification for Sprint Orienteering Maps

Åvestadal, Avesta

School maps are drawn in the sprint norm (ISSOM and ISSprOM) but with the addition of a number of special details that are mostly found in a school yard e.g. lamp post, park bench, small pole (basketball), flagpole, football goal, playground frame, etc. Usually we draw sprint maps at a scale of 1: 4000 or 1: 3000, while the school maps are drawn to scale 1: 1000- 1: 2000 which allows us to include more detail on the map. On our school maps we usually don’t show any scale but only a ”distance ruler”. We think it is difficult for the students to carry a ruler compass in the hand and at same time try to learn orienteering. The compass ”Str8 WOD” that sits on the wrist helps students to orientate the map easily to the north and the distance ruler provides sufficient information to know the distance between different points. An orienteering map in the forest is usually drawn in five or six colours, while a sprint and school maps have some more shades of the basic colours: White - Forest with good runnability. Brown - Hills, pits. Black - Rocks, cliffs, roads, fences, walls, bridges, pillars. Yellow - Open land as fields, meadows and lawns. Green - Dense vegetation. Used when the terrain is difficult to run through or to highlight hedges. Grey - Houses, buildings. Light grey highlights canopies. Light brown - Paved or hard gravel surfaces such as roads, car parks, school yards. Pink - Temporary buildings, outdoor café, containers. Blue - Water: lakes, rivers, streams, ditches, marshes.

THE MAP’S SYMBOLS The map’s symbols are the same throughout the world. A stone is marked as a black dot whether you’re in Sweden, UK, Australia, China or Brazil. The legend to the right of the map shows most map symbols the cartographer is using, but there are more signs and nuances that can be used to make the map even more detailed. For Ages 6-15, we have made it

it clearer. Some map characters are highlighted with a pink background. This is important information for both the teachers who prepare the courses and for the students’ participating in the activity. You are not allowed to run here!

LEARNING ORIENTEERING ”Steps of development” is a pedagogical description of how to learn orienteering in a clear sequential way. The basic elements come first followed by increasing difficulty.

together into a larger unit – “first south through the gate, follow the house to the east and then north along the hedge to the control.

This guide is a supplement to the Swedish Orienteering Federation’s book “Orientera i skolan” and provides practical and concrete guidance on how to utilise the school and its neighbourhood for teaching orienteering within the “Physical Education” curriculum.

The yellow level is designed for teaching in secondary schools but parts of this level can be used at the end of middle school too. In particular, by using a small forest area nearby with some hills. An area where the kids normally play. Students get an understanding of what goes up and down on the map. The area is both known and safe for children.

Based on the levels of green, white and yellow, this guide contains a number of exercises which the teachers can transfer for use with their own school maps. If you don’t have access to any map of the school, i.e. educational material, there is more information in the back of the folder on how to obtain functional educational materials for teaching. The early school age learning starts at the green level. Many checkpoints provide regular on-going feedback to reaffirm the student that they are getting it right. The short legs also help focus concentration. The next checkpoint should be visible once one finds their right control. Three key principles: Orientate the map, red to red and thumb your map. Students have to repeat and emphasise these three principles with every learning opportunity. This is the basis for orienteering to be interesting and fun. When you understand how things fit together, the students will look forward to the next challenge.

If somebody makes a mistake and become a “little lost” it is better if this happens in the known and safe environment. They can return to the teacher and start again. If a child gets lost in less familiar terrain, the risk is very high that this experience will put them off for the rest of the school years, maybe even for life. It is an advantage if a teacher is experienced at one level higher than they are teaching. For most teachers orange level is sufficient. As a teacher, you are the catalyst to ensure that the learning of orienteering is as smooth as possible. Play and ’learning by doing’ are factors for success in learning something that can be a bit difficult and complicated. Therefore the school area, a good and updated map, a simple compass and a dedicated teacher are the foundation for successful learning and for a great, positive experience of orienteering.

Unknown terrain: means a nearby forest area of outdoor character close to the school.

Knowing that the map is reduction small scale and simplification version of reality. Distinct terrain objects that are easy to follow, for example, roads, paths, fences or large buildings. Less distinct handrails can be small paths, hedges, ditches and, vegetation boundaries. Alignment of the map consistent to the real north with the map image aligned with reality. This is achieved by the Red to Red principle. Positioning of the thumb on the map precisely where one is in reality. As one moves in reality, so too should the thumb be consistent with that movement.

“Red to Red”, “orientate the map”, “thumb your map” are some terms that occur repeatedly for beginners and elite orienteers alike. Applying these principles is vital for interpreting the map. Constant repetition will reinforce these basic techniques of orienteering. The map is a simplified image of reality (see page 6-7). If the map is orientated incorrectly, the reality does not match the map. We cannot change reality but we can reposition the map to reality or, as we say ”orientate the map”. You can either orientate the map to the terrain, for example by using houses and roads or by using the simple ”red to red” principle with the help of a compass. In cooperation with Str8 Compasses and the project ”Skol-Sprinten”, we have developed a new compass ”Str8 WOD” which is perfectly adapted to children’s hands and sits smoothly on the wrist.

Chessboard, red to red

Build a chessboard (64 squares) using plastic bands or string and sticks on a lawn, or with chalked lines on the school yard asphalt surface or thin and narrow boards (free from the building trade). One edge is marked with red plastic, red chalk or coloured red board (preferably to the north). The map below shows 6 different symbols that can be marked as follows: Trees (spruce twig), play equipment (toy), boulder (clenched fist big stone), height (upside down Chinese hat), building (shoebox), and pole (stick).

The students will each receive a map of the chessboard and they help the teacher to build ”the terrain” with equipment as above. In this folder, there are four different examples of course (see next page). Students begin at the start (triangle) and then follow the dashed line to the finish (double rings). To start the students fold their maps to a comfortable size, identify their location on the map with their thumb at the appropriate start (1, 2, 3 or 4). The students then orientate map by rotating map using the compass and the ”red to red” Principle. If no compass, orientate the map to the terrain with the map’s red edge toward the red edge in the terrain. The students get to practise orientating the map by following the dashed line. At each change of direction they stop to move their body around the map whilst the map is fixed (red to red).

Thumb your map and rotate the map ”Red to Red”

The exercise ends when all students have a map without lines. On this map they draw a new course and start running after each other. Switch maps between students.

The basis of all orienteering is that the map is orientated to Kemer Scale 1 : 4 000 reality. The boulder to the right in the terrain should also be to the right on the map. Therefore, the ”red to red” is important to all learning. As soon as you look at the map, orientate the map. ”Red to red” is the easiest way to do this. Even today’s World Cup and World Championship maps have the red north edge marked on the map.

EXERCISES ”ORIENTATE THE MAP” Maze Orienteering or ”Orient show”

Maxim Ryabkin from Russia got a ”crazy” idea for more than 16 years ago. He saw the opportunity to add a new format to the traditional orienteering to get more attention from media and spectators. His vision about “Orient Show” was built on the fundamental ideas as follows: • It is a way to present orienteering as a spectacular sport for media and introducing orienteering to new groups of the population. • Spectators can watch and follow actions of professional orienteers under competitive conditions in real time, all the way from start to finish. • A chance for everyone to get involved. Everyone can find controls in the competition area without any special technical and physical abilities. Maze-O is very useful to set up in a small area. During 10-MILA 2016 in Falun the organiser showed people how they can organise a great event in a simple manner. You can build your own terrain in the school yard and change it whenever you want. Great training to practice orientating your map, or using the concept “Red-to-Red”!

MAZE IS AMAIZING

10% (more than 200) of all WOD events during 2019 were organized as a maze orienteering. We already noticed the year before that many different “Maze-O” were implemented all over the world and we promoted this a little bit more during the year with good results. Maze Orienteering has lots of benefits. It is a great opportunity to understand and to learn orienteering in a simple and secure way. The maze itself takes up little space and you can take advantage of small areas. Maze-O can be arranged anywhere in the world, very simple map, easy to build, flexible and accessible to everyone and above all an intense and fun activity for young people. Only the imagination is the limiting factor. In Avesta, the O-club Dalaportens OL has arranged Maze Orienteering as an extra activity at their annual orienteering events. It has also been a big part of World Orienteering Day as well as an attractive activity during Avesta’s 100th anniversary in the middle of town (see photos below).

Global Maze-O in the future?

In the same way as the new Olympic sports “speed-climbing”, “surfing” and “skateboard” we might consider the power of Maze-O as a marketing activity and as a new format for competition. Perhaps Maze-O is the easiest way to conduct an orienteering activity. We have seen that many people already use Maze-O for various purposes, such as technical training, fun competition or just as spontaneous activity. Imagine if we set up a Maze-O on every schoolyard in the world? Imagine the same maze and the same courses at the same time in major cities around the world; London, New York, Buenos Aires, Singapore, Sydney, Beijing, Moscow, Cairo, skola, avesta Paris, Stockholm and in smallKarlbo towns and villages.

EXERCISES ”ORIENTATE THE MAP” Global Maze-O in the future?

The success story continues: For the 18 time the VELTINS Arena can again welcome the international biathlon elite at Schalke in December 2019. Not only the new route had World Cup level, but also the brand new technique that has been installed in the Veltins-Arena, especially for the event, set new standards. th

These words can also belong to orienteering in the future. A sprint race both indoors and outdoors of the arena is a great opportunity for orienteering to grow and to be visible for people outside orienteering. What the organisers did on Tuesday April 12th 2016 in Friends Arena in Stockholm was the first great step to develop “Maze Orienteering”. The concept has many advantages to consider, not least the fact that big arenas like Friends or Veltins can be found all over the world. The organisers at Friends Arena used the concept of a duel between participants. Parents and children, best friends and club mates, everyone ran against each other for fun. And it’s possible to do that at school as well.

Mobile Maze in Avesta, Sweden

Next year, 2020, the club Dalaportens OL will implement a mobile maze orienteering at all 10 schools in Avesta municipality. Each school can then use the maze for a week. One day these weeks, the club will come to every school to conduct a Maze event with all students.

EXERCISES “ORIENTATE THE MAP” KISS; Keep it Simple

The simplest variant of a maze is to place only the control flags in a symmetrical frame, such as a square or rectangle. You can also use cones or other marker that you have in your gym. This type of course is perfect for learning how to fit the map into reality and learning the concept of “red to red”.

Courses ”KISS”

Course C

Course D

100 m

Course A is the simplest course and courses B, C and D become an increased difficulty. You can usually finish the exercise with “run 100 meters as fast as possible” or “running 100 meters twice and try to get the time as close as possible”. As in the maze, everyone here can participate on their terms.

EXERCISES ”ORIENTATE THE MAP” Orientate the map in the multi-gym

By drawing a map of the multi-gym you can train in map understanding and ”map orientation” in both an effective and a fun manner. Use as many items as possible from the gym. The map to the right shows how the equipment can be plotted to illustrate the various objects (see ”Legend”). If you have red carpets as you draw them in red. Try to emulate objects as much as possible.

On the next page you will find four different courses that you can print from the Appendix. Students and/ or teachers can draw new variations of courses on blank (i.e. no course marked) maps. The red edge of the map corresponds to the north in reality. The teacher identifies which wall will be ”north”.

The teacher follows the dashed line and stops at each new object. Students have a blank map (student map) and follow the teacher. The teacher repeats often ”thumb your map” and especially ”red-to-red” for the students. The teacher asks the students ”where are we?”, ”Where is for example this blue gymnastic mat on the map?”. Students work together in pairs and show and answer the teacher’s questions by pointing out the objects on the map. As a warm up, students can ”build up the terrain” using the master map. It’s good to enlarge the master map as much as possible and place it in a central location. Let students work in pairs.

For example, horses could be houses, a mattress might be a lake, small mats are marshes, bench becomes walls, etc. All objects get a map symbol available on the school map and corresponding to the sprint norm (ISSOM or ISSprOM).

ORIENTEERING INDOOR, TWO FLOORS The example below is an ambitious way to implement indoor orienteering. If you have the opportunity to use a larger venue or building in many levels it will be very fun. It doesn’t need to be a sports facility like this one, it could very well be a school with several floors. The numbers of equipment e.g. vaulting box, benches, springboard, mattress etc. decides how an area can be used for indoor orienteering. It is similar to carry out the “shipwreck” but this is with the map, and the controls can be hung high and low. Now you have started to be creative with both yourself and the students. Kids are full of imagination, and the ability the kids produce should take advantage of by us adults as much as we can. My starting point is that all equipment, fixed or loosed, should be used and gladly combined. At the same time students focus on “to navigate in a correct manner” I would like to get coordination and balance as an important part of the exercise in this activity. The master map consists of all lines (handball, basketball, badminton, etc) and this map you can use for line orienteering and as a support for you to put out all gymnastic equipment. The map, which is then used for the various activities, have no lines, only the equipment are marked. You have built a “terrain box” indoor and then it’s these tools you are using for orienteering. The equipment correspond to stones, hills, buildings, lakes to a “real map”. From the second floor you can see the equipment on first floor and therefore the map is drawn with a transparent layer.

The advantage of the “Star-O” is that the teacher can continuously provide instructions and feedback to the students, which is otherwise very difficult in the teaching of orienteering. Students can advantageously work one by one during these exercises. It is perfectly OK if some students want to run together, of course.

The school staff’s ugliest grimaces

The checkpoints may be marked with orienteering markers and pin punches. If you have access to electronic punching systems as EMIT or SPORTident these can be used advantageously. Checkpoints may also be marked in a simple way using plastic tape in bright colours. As a fun alternative you can take photos of the school staff. But they have to be fun photos! One variation is that everyone who works at the school makes her/his ugliest face or grimace. Put the photo in A5 size and laminate it. Students report at the finish who and what grimace was present at the respective control.

Orientate the map (Photo-orienteering)

The teacher tries to find both visible and less visible objects in the school yard. A lone tree or a detail of a tree, part of a house, a detail in the form of a drainpipe, a little thing on a play equipment etc. It is only your imagination that limits the creativity. The advantage of “Photo-O” is that you avoid putting out control markers because the object is already selected as a photo. The exercise can be conducted as a planned activity or as a spontaneous event. The task is to connect each control with the right photo.

This is a very good activity both to develop the technique of orientating the map and to develop students’ fitness when the students have managed the green difficulty level. The exercise is great to perform as an interval session. One course per map. Students can work in pairs or in groups during warm up by putting out control markers. The teacher directs students from the start/finish (same location). The teacher reminds the students ”Thumb your map” and especially ”red to red”. The message to the students is: - Navigate to all controls, punch and run at full speed back from the last control to finish.

TO UNDERSTAND HILLS AND VALLEYS High mountains and deep valleys

The LEGO hill

The world’s highest mountain is Mount Everest (8 848 metres above sea level) located on the border between Nepal and China. The world’s deepest ocean grave is the Mariana Grave (11 034 metres below sea level) located in the Pacific Ocean, south of Japan. It is more than 12 miles (19 882 m) between the highest and the lowest place on Earth. In Sweden, Kebnekaise, is the highest mountain (2 097 metres above sea level), while the lowest land point can be found in Kristianstad, 2.41 metres below sea level.

The LEGO hill from above

All maps, including maps with hills, are drawn from a photograph or laser scanning which have been taken a few kilometres up in the air. With help of this “map” we try to translate the map into a real image. The previous page shows some examples of three-dimensional maps. These translations of reality are not quite to scale and are slightly distorted and they are therefore difficult to use for determining the position and direction. But they work great to understand how mountains and valleys relate to each other in the terrain. In order to easily understand how a map with altitude formations works I will recommend to build a hill e.g. in the sandbox or using LEGO pieces that shown on the upper right of the page. You can also go outdoors to find a rock formation that is similar to a mountain in miniature (see the boulder to the right). Common to these models is to understand the highest point, the steepest part, and the gently sloping part and to recognize what is uphill or downhill. Using the contour lines (brown colour) it will be easy to understand how hills and valleys, ridges and re-entrants appear in reality.

The boulder

The boulder from above

exe rc ise s ”ye llow leve l”

TO UNDERSTAND HILLS AND VALLEYS The peak from different directions

The “Globe Arena” in Stockholm and other round buildings have regular shape. They look the same no matter where you stand and look at them. Peaks or hills are very different. Hills and valleys are irregular.

The peak of Idre Fjäll; Städjan

Städjan is Sweden’s southernmost mountain top. The mountain is very steep. It is visible from all directions. The top of the hill extends in a north-south direction. Städjan has a higher peak in the north and lower in the south. The highest peak is 1131 metres above sea level.

Different directions

The photos A-C are showing Städjan from different directions. Photo A is taken from South to North, photo B is taken from North West to South East and photo C is taken from South West to North East. You see the mountain in three different directions. It’s hard to know whether it is the same mountain from the photos. However, on the map the mountain is the same no matter where you are.

STÄDJAN, IDRE FJÄLL

10 or 2 metres contour interval

The height between each contour line at a mountain map is 10 metres. Similar distance at a school map is 1 or 2 metres.

exe rc ise s ”ye llow leve l”

TO UNDERSTAND HILLS AND VALLEYS Draw a map of a hill

In Hansbyn outside Dala-Husby in Sweden, where I live, there are a lot of boulders. I can choose which boulder I want. The boulder, photo on the right, I have chosen to draw a map of contour lines.

The boulder’s different shapes

The map of the boulder is a simplified picture of reality. The purpose of the map is to show different shapes of the boulder. The steep sides. The highest points. The deep notches. These are the key elements to draw first. Then I draw the smaller details, such as a small groove or protruding parts.

The contour lines

It is the same distance between the contour lines. It is steep where the contour lines are very close together. Longer distance between the contour lines shows that there is a flatter area. On most maps the fifth contour line is drawn with thicker line. Thanks to the thick contour lines you get a much better idea what the hills and valleys look like.

Test yourself!

On the following pages you will find some “Test yourself exercises.” You will understand better how the hills and valleys are drawn on a map.

GREEN MAP SHOWS DENSE VEGETATION

As mapmaker of orienteering maps you are trying to draw the reality as much detail as possible. In addition to small details you want to show visibility and runnability of the terrain. This page shows the main colours for this.

The white colour indicates easy running in the forest. The forest may consist of deciduous, coniferous or mixed forest.

The yellow colour shows the open areas with very good runnability. Cultivated land, meadow or lawn.

The yellow-white colour shows mostly lawn with several trees in the area. Same runnabilty as ”yellow”.

The light yellow colour shows open areas with tall grass. Usually good visibility but some reduced runnability.

The light green colour shows that there is a certain reduced visibility and somewhat reduced runnability.

The medium green colour shows some reduced visibility and reduced runnability.

The dark green colour shows much reduced visibility, and it is very difficult to run.

The green-black colour shows it is impossible to cross. E.g. hedges are drawn in this manner.

An area of dense undergrowth (reduced runnability) but otherwise good visibility.

THREE FACTORS FOR SUCCESS Learn from the best in the World!

The best male orienteer of the World, Thierry Gueorgiou from France, has three simple advices to anyone who wants to learn to orienteer. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner or if you compete at the absolute world class level. The same principles apply to anyone who wants to find the controls in a quick, easy and safe way.

1 Make it simple

Schoolyard maps are pretty simple to understand. The further out you come into the wilderness the more complicated details are drawn on the map. Not least the height formations can be very complex. Thierry Gueorgiou claims that he uses the same technology today when he runs the most challenging courses such as the World Cup as he did when he started to learn orienteering. From the “real map” he creates a simplified picture of the map. He picks out the height formations and the details that are unique to this area and orientates with help of these. He draws a new “visual map” in his mind.

REAL MAP

”THE MAP IN MY MIND”

REAL MAP

”THE MAP IN MY MIND”

2 Accurate direction

Similarly he picks out the unique details of the map to the right and at the same time, he uses the compass to keep the correct direction. Every time he looks at the map as he looks at the compass to check that he is in correct direction towards the next terrain objects. It is even so that he sometimes can put down the map, but he never does so with the compass. It is partly thanks to his ability to use the compass that he runs faster than any other when he orienteers.

3 Attack point

REAL MAP

ATTACK POINT

The idea of the attack point is to get as close to the control as possible. From the attack point you can locate the control easily, quickly and safely. In this case, the arrow shows a good attack point, while the dotted line shows the fastest track.

LINE-O, 4: In this exercise, we will visit the forest or a more unknown area. The dotted line shows the student to follow handrails (paths, roads, slopes and height formations). On a number of occasions the line turns from the handrail, at or close to a distinctive objects. At these times you can change the direction, and it is important to fit the map to the reality or to use “red-to-red” to get the correct direction.

Practical information

The controls may be marked with orienteering markers and pin punches. If you have access to electronic punching systems such as EMIT or SPORTident these can be used advantageously. The checkpoints may also be marked in a simple way using plastic tape in bright colours. As a warm up, the students can put out 1-2 controls and as warm down bring the same controls back again. However, this requires that you have a map for each control, but it may be worthwhile to produce these additional master maps.

Up on top and look around!

It takes a while to learn how hills, pits, ridges and reentrants are drawn on a map. Out in the terrain you can more easily compare the map with reality.

EXERCISES ”UP AND DOWN”

Svanberga, Norrtälje

Six peaks

5 4

360 degrees

Find a number of peaks around the terrain. From the top of the hill scout 360 degrees around. You may see how the terrain ahead shapes itself as the fingers on your hand. Ridges rise up while re-entrants sink into the terrain.

Three things to remember!

A good exercise is that the teacher will take the students to the different hills. The teacher can discuss following issue with the students: • how to simplify • how to keep the direction • how to find a suitable attack point to find the controls safely

EXERCISES ”UP AND DOWN” Orientate the map (Star-O part A, control 1-12)

Star-O, 1 control, part B

The teacher directs students from the start and finish (same location). ”Thumb your map” and especially ”red to red” emphasised. When the students have orientated the map and made a decision how to run to the control the task is: The students navigate to the control, punch and run at full speed back to start/finish.

Orientate the map (Star-O, part B control 1-8)

After all the 12 controls are completed the teacher and students move to the next start and finish to conduct the next exercise in the same way. The advantages of “Star-O” are that the teacher very often can give instructions and feedback to the students. This is normally very difficult when you teach orienteering. Students can usually work one by one during these exercises. If some students want to run together it is of course absolutely fine.

Orientate the map (Star-O, Course A-D)

This is a perfect activity both for developing the technique to orientate the map and to develop the students’ fitness when you have completed the first part of the yellow level. The exercise can preferably be carried out as an interval session. You can draw two courses on each map. The maps below show courses A and B, C and D. The students can start four at a time to get a student on each track. The student doesn’t have to run by themselves, and it is perfectly possible to work in pairs. The most important thing is to focus on “make it simple” and to find the controls.

Star-O, 3 controls

Course E

Star-O, 3 controls

Courses C-D

The students can work in pairs or in groups during the warm up by putting out the control markers. The teacher directs students from the start/finish location (same place). ”Thumb your map” and “red to red” have to be highlighted. When the students have orientated the map and made a decision how to run to the controls the task is: The students navigate to all controls, punch and run at full speed from the last control to start/finish.

Course E

Course E (right) is applied to all controls from the courses A-D. This is a bonus track for those who want to do more and that have reached a higher technical level.

EXERCISES ”UP AND DOWN” Simplify, keep the direction and attack!

We return to Thierry Gueorgiou’s three important messages i.e. make it simple, accurate direction and to find the last safe attack point. The purpose of this exercise is to: • Ensure the student picks up the height formations and the details that are unique to this area and navigates only with help of these • Make the student orientate the map to reality at every stop, and also before the student runs forward to the next detail • Allow the student to chooses an attack point as close to the control as possible and navigate to this before the student finds the control •

CONTROL PICKING

Make a stop at five controls!

The best effect of this exercise is that the students will get to work in pairs. One in the pair navigates to the control and the other follows behind. At every control they give each other feedback regarding the navigation. At these five controls (4, 9, 14, 22 and 28) the students stop to orientate themselves in the environment. Climbing up on the hill or on the boulder and working in pairs. One student points at different objects, while the other student shows what he or she thinks is correct object on the map.

Relay with yourself!

The students carry out this exercise on their own or in pairs. Have a mass start or wave start every half-minute on all four courses. In the example below the students run six courses, but it works just as well with four or eight courses. Lesson time determines the participation in the activity. The base is four courses but also implements each course in the opposite direction. If you have eight courses, start every minute, all the students will start after four minutes.

COMPLEX EXERCISES Permanent orienteering courses can be useful to get more spontaneous use of maps. Photoorienteering in different ways usually work very well. Bosön IFHS is an example of how to use the map as a traditional paper map or downloaded in the phone via the MOBO application. The start of the MOBO (Mobile Orienteering) is outside the reception. Each checkpoint (total 18 pcs, 2 shown here) is marked as the picture to the right (number 1-18). With MOBO app you are also allowed to “punch” at each checkpoint with the phone (via barcode scanning). The app is free of charge and works for Android, Apple and Windows. You can also download maps to your phone or tablet from the website www.boson.nu.

The view from the terrace of the headmaster’s house over Askrikefjärden is adorable. Previous Bosön’s principals stayed here but today the villa converted into a kitchen so our guests can enjoy homecooked banquets.

6 THE HOUSE OF CHAMPIONS

1924 Paul U Bergström (PUB) moved to Bosön and built “the house of champions”. 1938 the Swedish Sports Confederation (RF) bought the property and the year after the first sport’s conference was held at Bosön as 10-days education for 25 cyclists.

BOSÖN

BOSÖN TRAIL RUNNING 2,5 KM

COMPLEX EXERCISES With the help of solid controls and permanent courses you can carry out activities whenever you want. At Bosön Sports High School we have created four permanent courses using 18 controls. ”History Tour”, “Walk and Talk”, “Active Rehab Tour” (wheelchair friendly path) and “Trail Running” (see map at right). ”Trail running” is a simple orienteering course along the handrails (tracks and paths) with some tough hills. The course has 12 checkpoints (controls) and is about 2.5 km long. ”History Tour” is a very good option to get to know their surroundings when you start at a new school. You will quickly learn the most important things about the school’s history and its present, while being provided with a good knowledge of the school’s premises and surroundings.

COMPLEX EXERCISES All in one!

MOBO (Mobile Orienteering) involves the use of a smartphone or a tablet instead of the traditional paper map. MOBO is available worldwide, but you find these maps in Estonia and Finland mostly. At a number of schools in Sweden, particularly in Avesta and Stockholm, you can use the app MOBO. Maps, compasses and barcode scanners (for “punching”) are available in the app. At the start you use your smartphone to scan the QR code. A beep indicates that your start punch is registered. At each check point you repeat the process. Press the app’s camera symbol, scan the QR code and the check point is registered. Using the zoom you can enlarge or reduce the map. The map is very clear and you can see all details very distinctly. More information about the MOBO can be found at: www.mobo.osport.ee. The app is free of charge and is available for Android, Apple and Windows.

Downhill skiing at high speed!

Download the map in the phone!

The map below is an attempt to show both the difficulties of the ski slopes and show the skiers how they can orientate during their stay in the ski slopes. Based on your skill ability you can choose the slopes that suit you, and afterwards you can challenge yourself and test another more difficult slope.

In connection with the school’s outdoor events in a ski slope you can add this kind of activity to be part of teaching ”to orientate”.

In our daily life we face lots of different maps and we are informed constantly with different messages. At the ski slopes, both in Sweden and abroad, they try to inform skiers where to go and what challenges each slope contains. There are different colours (green, blue, red and black) that indicates the difficulty every downhill slope has. Green is the easy one, we call this slope for “the child slope”. The black colour is the slope with the highest difficulty.

The checkpoints can be marked in the same manner as in MOBO, i.e. a laminated orienteering control with control number and QR code. The checkpoints are placed on the edge of the slope or at another suitable place to avoid preventing other skiers. Via barcode scanner in the phone you scan the QR code to get a registration.

This activity of ”Alpine Orienteering” is quite new, but hopefully we can find similar activities in many ski slopes world wide in the future.

On the map, there are a number of checkpoints (none in the black slopes due these are too steep). These can be used to implement exercises that develop the knowledge of orienteering. E.g. you can decide for a certain period of time (4560 minutes) whether you should visit as many checkpoints as possible. Another option is to find the checkpoints in numerical order.

ORIENTEERING IN THE SPIRIT OF LINNAEUS Systema naturae

Systema Naturae is a book written by Carl Linnaeus, and the first draft was published in 1735. In the book Linnaeus describes all species of plants, animals and minerals that he knew. He grouped these species based on observations of the species’ characteristics.

Spruce (Picea abies)

The spruce arrived to Sweden via Finland about 3500 years ago and it is our most common tree (covering 43% of the forest area). The spruce prefers a nutrient-rich moist soil, but is sensitive to dry climate, air pollution and storm. While pine’s root system grows in depth the spruce has a shallow root system which means the spruce is very sensitive to storm damage. The spruce is felled normally at 70-150 years. It will be the tallest tree in our forest and can grow to over 50 m high with a perimeter of 5 metres. The timber can be used for many purposes, primarily as a raw material for paper pulp, buildings and, indeed, the production of artificial silk. • Sweden has about 25 different kinds of trees. What trees grow on your schoolyard? Visit all 30 controls and check! • Describe each tree in the same way as the spruce above.

ADVENTURE DAY BY ORIENTEERING ”The school battle”

This proposal of “Adventure Day” is based on cooperation between the students, knowledge of nature, outdoor activity, mathematics, orienteering and adventure. You can also use this event as a “School battle” between the classes and divide each class into groups of 4-6 students in each group, split equally between boys and girls. It is great to use the nearby recreation area. In the “School battle” the students collect points and each collected point (by individual or by the team) counts. In this teamwork all individual performances are valuable. Be it theoretical or practical. The adventure day is divided into three parts. In the first part the group will visit seven controls and at each checkpoint, carry out a task that gives points to the group and to its class The second part consists of an O-course with punching, close to the start (see the dashed line on the map). Each completed round gives 1 point. Part 3 consists of a number of riddles that the group has to solve (5 points/correct answer). . The final “winner” is the class that together have collected the most points.

1 Birds

At the first station the students have to connect our most common birds with the sound of bird song. The teacher of Biology is responsible for the activity. The teacher plays six different songs of bird (15 seconds per bird) and the students have to connect the song to the correct bird. • Max time: 3 minutes • Each correct answer: 2 points

2 Map Memory

The students have to connect two similar “map card” with each other. From the beginning, all cards are up and down and the students turn up the cards as they do in the “Memory Games”. • Max time: 3 minutes • Each correct pair: 2 points

3 Puncture

Mending a puncture of a bicycle tube using a bucket of water and a bike repair kit that you usually have in the saddle. • Less than 2 minutes: 10 points • Less than 3 minutes: 9 points, and so on

ADVENTURE DAY BY ORIENTEERING 4 The European puzzle

Students put the puzzle together to figure out how far it is e.g. between the capitals of Spain and Ukraine. The students have to know where the countries are located and what scale the map puzzle has. We say that the scale is 1: 100 000 000, and the measured distance between Madrid and Kiev is 283 mm, which means that there are 2830 km between these capitals. You don’t need to put all the pieces together, it is enough to put the pieces of the puzzle needed to measure the distance between the points. • Max time: 3 minutes • 2830 km (+-) 100 km: 10 points • 1 point deduction for every 100 km more or less than 2830 km

5 Connecting object with symbol

At the fifth station, the students should transfer a number of terrain objects to the correct location on the map. The option is to show a picture and a map from another area. • Max time: 3 minutes • Each correct answer: 2 points

6 Building a stretcher

Two poles and a roll with thicker string is enough to build a sustainable stretcher. The students build the stretcher in a smart way, one member of group plays injured and the rest of the group have to carry the wounded comrade a round of about 50 meters in the forest. • Less than 3 minutes: 10 points • Less than 3.30 minutes: 9 points • Less than 4 minutes: 8 points and so on

Connecting object with map symbol

7 The wooden log

At the last station, the students have to be agile and smart. The teacher puts the students on the wooden log in the order of age from left to right. The youngest student at left. At the teacher’s starting signal, students move on the wooden log so that the ranks from left to right are on the basis of the shortest to the tallest student. • Less than 1 minute: 10 points • Less than 1,15 minutes: 9 points • Less than 1,30 minutes: 8 points and so on • Every step on the ground: -1 point

ORIENTEERING WITH GPS POP-IN, orienteering by gps and O-map in smartphone

As you maybe know the organiser of WOC2016 created a new possibility to enjoy orienteering in new different way. They called it “POP-IN” and it is a little bit similar to the new Pokemon GO game. If you want to test it at your location, please send me your gps coordinates and you will get a “check point” from me. You have to download the app “Loquiz” and the username is “ww” and the password is “1111”. WOD POP-IN is an incredibly fun activity you can do with both children and adults! It is highly recommended to schools and clubs that want a different activity that makes you laugh and engages everyone. Of course, you can do normal orienteering as well. The best with WOD POP-IN is the virtual checkpoints you just put out by your computer. As a teacher you also will get these positive responses:

Gps-signal

• Motivate students to be physically active and learn new things at the same time • Cooperate with colleagues and use question banks to set up educational games anywhere quickly • Create and conduct campus tours or orienteering as a game or competition • Real time results about the pupil’s progress and knowledge Thanks to the GPS signal, you will never get lost in the terrain. You can use it either as a guide or feedback that you are on the right track. When you are in the green circle, your phone beeps and a question pops up on the screen. You can also add a photo to the question. Tick your answer and press OK. You will then know whether your answer is correct or incorrect. The green circle will disappear from the map and you can continue towards the next check point. Have fun!

MICRO AND NIGHT ORIENTEERING Micro Orienteering

Micro Orienteering is something you can implement in a very, very small area. Suitable areas can be playgrounds, small groves, small parks or the map of Strömstad (below), part of the harbour park. At the Micro Orienteering you will be forced to focus on the map and its details. It covers very short distances between the controls and it is easy to act hastily. Perfect learning to that can be transferred from the terrain to the map and vice versa.

ASSESSMENT YEAR 6, AGE 12 Assessment of the student’s knowledge is always a hard nut to crack for most of teachers. It’s ”knowledge of map” that should be assessed mainly, not how fast the student runs. According to the curriculum (Swedish) we can read as follows: Year 1-3: To orientate (navigate) themselves in the local environment and understand simple map’s structure. Year 4-6: To orientate in nearby nature and outdoor environment using maps. Understand map’s structure and symbols. Year 7-9: To orientate in unknown environments using maps and other assistive devices for positioning. Knowledge requirements primary school ”orienteering”

According to the curriculum the student shall achieve the following knowledge requirements for different levels of grade at the end of Year 6:

Students can carry out various activities in nature and outdoor environment with some adaptation to different conditions and to the right of public access rules. In addition, the students can, with some certainty, orientate themselves in known environments using maps.

Knowledge requirements for grade C

Students can carry out various activities in nature and outdoor environment with relatively good adaptation to different conditions and to the right of public access rules. In addition, the students can with relative accuracy orientate themselves in known environments using maps.

Knowledge requirements for grade A

Students can carry out various activities in nature and outdoor environment with good adaptation to different conditions and to the right of public access rules. In addition, the students can with high degree of accuracy orientate themselves in known environments using maps.

Suggestions for Assessment

”Some certainty” (grade E) means that the students make some errors and need some guidance before the students can orientate themselves. ”Relatively good certainty” (grade C) means that the students make errors choice before the students can orientate themselves. ”Good certainty” (grade A) means that the students don’t make any errors or don’t need any guidance in order to orientate themselves.

Basis for Assessment, Year 6

From the above, you should assess students’ knowledge of being able to orientate in a known environment: 1 / The map’s colours and symbols and map’s structure. 2 / Orientate the map using compass or terrain. 3 / Using map to move between several locations.

IMPLEMENTATION Generally The following courses check if students can orientate the map correctly (red to red), and plan and move between several locations in a known environment (school yard and immediately nearby area). Students will visit a number of check points (controls) without code numbers and punch at the controls the students have on the map. In this example, there are 16 controls placed in the terrain (see the master map to the right). Grade E, Year 6 The task is managed normally within 15 minutes walking pace. The content must be at least 6 check points with at least 5 check points right. Maximum time 30 minutes.

ASSESSMENT YEAR 9, AGE 15 Assessment of the student’s knowledge is always a hard nut to crack for most of teachers. It’s ”knowledge of map” that should be assessed mainly, not how fast the student runs. According to the curriculum (Swedish) we can read as follows: Year 1-3: To orientate (navigate) themselves in the local environment and understand simple map’s structure. Year 4-6: To orientate in nearby nature and outdoor environment using maps. Understand map’s structure and symbols. Year 7-9: To orientate in unknown environments using maps and other assistive devices for positioning.

Knowledge requirements primary school ”orienteering”

According to the curriculum the student shall achieve the following knowledge requirements for different levels of grade at the end of Year 9, age 15:

Knowledge requirements for grade E

Knowledge requirements for grade C

Knowledge requirements for grade A

Suggestions for Assessment

Basis for Assessment, Year 9

IMPLEMENTATION

GRUVGÄRDET

Assessment, Year 9, age 15, All check points

Generally The following courses check if the students can orientate the map correctly (red to red), and plan and move between several locations in an unknown and some hilly area (e.g. a small forest close to the school). Students will visit a number of check points (controls) without code numbers and punch at the controls the students have on the map. In this example, there are 14 controls placed in the terrain (see the master map to the right). Grade E, Year 9, age 15 The task is managed normally within 30 minutes walking pace. The content must be at least 6 check points with at least 5 check points correct. Maximum time 60 minutes. In this case, at least 7 of 8 check points must be correct.

EMITÂ´S SCHOOL-KIT

Photo: Ulf Palm

School-kit for orienteering

Emits New School-kit for Orienteering

The new school-kit for orienteering consists of 25 emiTags with elastic cardborebands, 15 Touch-Free Trainer (TFT) controls (incl start and finish), the new eScan reader and a thermal, bluetooth printer with rechargeable batteries. 15 control flags are also included.

emiTag chip with elastic cardboreband

Active, electronic timing chip used in a variety of sports. The emiTag registers time and code for all controls it detects. Built-in, orange led flashes sharply for five seconds after detecting a control. Storing capacity of 500 controls, with codes and times. State-of-the-art lithium battery estimated to last for five years. Elastic cardboreband made for orienteering.

eScan reader with portable bluetooth printer

The eScan reader is used to download all controls (and times) from the emiTags, after the competitor has crossed the finish-line. Intermediate times are immediately printed on the portable bluetooth printer, and may also be downloaded to a PC or tablet. The school-kit is delivered in a suitable case, with a charger and std usb cable included, as well as a powerbank - to give you about 10.000 mA of extra power!

Touch-Free Trainer TFT controls

The Touch-Free Trainer (TFT) controls are made for use at school-orienteering events, practise events and all other sorts of orienteering. The TFT-controls continuously transmit a signal containing a control code from 100 to 199. This code is registered by emiTags, that are within a range of 25 cm from the TFT-unit. Powered by easy changeable standard AA alkaline batteries.

HOW CAN SCHOOLS GET HELP? The map is an educational tool

co-operation partners ”One club - one school”

The intention of the project ”Skol-Sprinten” and this guideline is to show how to create great conditions for an education in orienteering that the students can perceive as ”cool, awesome and educational.” The main school of thought has always been that students should experience joy when they perform orienteering ”for real”, with a colourful map conforming to reality, a cool compass and an electronic punching system.

Furthermore, each school and municipality must prioritise its budget and set aside money annually for mapping of schools. A municipality in Stockholm has an on-going contract with an orienteering club to ensure that school maps are drawn and that the maps are updated annually.

Maps and compasses are closely interconnected when you navigate in forest or cities. To learn orienteering and at the same time achieve the requirements that the National Agency for Education is setting by the curriculum, each school requires teaching materials to implement a relevant education.

In conjunction with Str8 Compasses and EMIT AS as collaborative partners, Dalaportens OL and sixteen schools in Dalarna, we have created a concept that is very attractive for education in schools. The response has been fantastic both from students, teachers and school leaders.

Collaboration with the local orienteering club provides great opportunities to apply for financial support from the “Sport Foundation” especially being able to draw a map of the school grounds. Please start a co-operation between an orienteering club and each school in your municipality.

What kind of help do you need?

If you want some more information about: help on submitting an application, implementation of mapping or own exercises for education, please contact Göran Andersson. E-mail: byorienteering@gmail.com Phone: +46 70 601 53 26 Website: www.byorienteering.se

STR8 COMPASSES THE STORY BEHIND STR8 compass

STR8 original

The former elite runner Warren Key (photo below) from Australia is the person behind the Str8 Compass. The reason why Str8 exists is because he have always wanted to improve his navigating and he knew, he was not alone with this. He grew up in the baseplate era and experienced the advantages of that design which was particularly useful with the earlier mapping style, then with the original thumb compass arrived in the early 80s, it was a revolution at the time and he was an early adopter. Since that first thumb compass not a lot has changed in design, of course the needle performance has improved dramatically, but mapping and navigation techniques have changed with the times and he wanted to bring the strengths of the two compasses together in a product that reflected the new era of orienteers. He hope he has done so.

STR8 kompakt

A compass seems like a fairly simple product to produce but the technology of making one is quite complex. The single most challenging element is achieving the optimum performance of the needle, the balance between speed and stability is critical. The influencing factors are almost infinite, capsule dimensions and movement, fluid viscosity, needle shape and dynamics, pressure rates and more. Breaking this barrier was Warren´s happiest moment and he still remember the exact moment and place he knew he had got it right. It was in a really interesting forest on a sloping hillside, he went straight through some low visibility terrain strewn with rocks, popped out exactly where his compass told him and punched the air with genuine glee, and then the control!

STR8 evo

STR8 WOD Compass

The functions of ”Str8 Original” and the request from beginners, coaches and teachers have been merged into the new compass ”Str8 WOD”. This wrist compass is the perfect beginner’s compass for interested young people and school orienteering. The compact size, with rotatable compass house and a stable needle “Str8 WOD” is ideal for a small hands and tough challenges. The strap fits securely in the hand so the user can focus on map reading and running direction.
