Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - Great book for people just getting into this activity/sport
After my husband and I did our first go at orienteering a few weeks ago at a Scout-O with our son and throughly enjoyed it. As fans of "the Amazing Race" on TV we really got into it. I rushed home to find some books or websites on this sport/activity to learn more and found a wealth of stuff. It is a whole huge subculture of activities (hiking, kayaking, underwater, night races, etc...) that we knew nothing about. I ordered this book along with others (on this site) about orienteering as well as checking out a few books from the library.
After combing through all of them this is the only book we kept and have used it quite a few more times to look map symbols up or read more about some aspect. This is a very inspiring -- everyone can do it -- kind of book. Great pictures and helpful short section that were easy to manuver around in and find what I was looking for.
Skip the other books and buy this one. This is the one you will actually pick up and read and USE!
