Post date: Feb 14, 2021 12:20:44 PM

Hope everyone is keeping well. It has been some time since we've had the opportunity to orienteer but I hope you are all finding new ways to keep active and stay fit.

If you've missed the challenge of reading maps then perhaps you might be interested in considering a new map related challenge.

If you would like to learn a new skill in 2021 then why not consider mapping!

The IOA is pleased to announce a series of introductory mapping workshops aimed at the first-time mappers. Over a progressive series of four workshops participants will be learn to:

1. Complete an urban sprint orienteering map that complies to international standards.
