We hope that the ten elements of orienteering video's produced by the Irish Orienteering Association and shared here over the last ten weeks helped you to improve your orienteering skills. Our Summer League events provided a great opportunity to put the skills and techniques demonstrated in these videos into practise.

If you missed any of the videos in the series or would like to re-cap on the various skills demonstrated then why not check out the full video below. We hope you enjoy the video and if you ever have any questions just ask any of our experienced club members at our event in Farran Forest Park on Tuesday evening. You will find them at registration and at the start.
