Terrain types
List and describe different terrain types here - including map samples and which type of orienteering technique is appropriate in the terrain. Categorizing different terrain types is not an easy task - but let us try ; and also try to link similar types of terrain. Please help by adding new terrain types.
For now, only a list of some terrain types is included.
- Urban terrain
- Continental terrain
- Sandstone terrain
- Bergen terrain (hilly, lots of marshes, soft ground, lots of "brake" making it slow)
- Western Norway terrain, inland (hilly, fast marshes,
It is still not clear how to best name / divide the different terrain types.
Should make a template for terrain types. Suggested fields:
- Characteristics of terrain
- Forest type (if any)
- Where to find this terrain type
- Typical pace for elite runner (min/km)
- Main technical challenges
- Favorable orienteering technique
- Similar terrain
- Annual competitions in this type of terrain
- Major competitions held in this type of terrain
