The runner gets a map showing the next control, and must memorize the leg. At each control, the runner gets another control.
| Aim: | Get better at (a) memorizing the map and (b) picking out which details to memorize. |
|---|---|
| Variants: | You may restrict the time the runner can watch the map. Another variant reducing the preparation work is to let the runner carry the map with him/her, but only being allowed to look at it at the controls. |
| Aids: | |
| Terrain: | Any terrain may do. |
| Preparations: | Make a one map for each leg, and place the map at the controls. |
| Tips: | Do not make it too difficult, or you may loose some runners already to the first control, them getting nothing out of the training. |
