Orienteering Exercise: Sailor Training

Key information
Exercise Type: Simplification, Flow, Route planning
Target Level: Elite level, Junior level, Intermediate level, Beginner level
Intensity: Medium
Preparation time: More than 30 minutes
OCAD Required: No
Min participants: 1

The athlete should follow a opaque line on the map which width is adapted to the terrain. The athlete is that way forced to navigate with objects alongside his direct route. At some control points even the controls object might be removed.

Aim: In this exercise the athlete trains to keep a broad perspective, let's call it the sailor perspective, ahead and to the sides building the base for fluid orienteering.
Variants: Depending on the line you are giving the exercise is more aimed on working with beacons or may get an additional "compass-element" between beacons.
Aids: You can modify the basemap with OCAD but you also can just use some correction tape to cover the route line
Terrain: Good view.
Preparations: Preparing the map, setting controls.
Tips: Take it serious! It is pretty hard to succeed.
