ORIENTEERING
" the new-to-America sport that puts
mind and body to work together "
Softcover Book by JOHN DISLEY
ILLUSTRATED BY GORDON MANSELL
This is a 1973 RUBICON edition
Published by STACKPOLE BOOKS
First published in Great Britian
© 1967, 1968, 1969 and 1973
" Conceived in Sweden and adopted in 13 other countries by
climbing, hiking and walking enthusiastics, orienteering
adds challenge, purpose, and competition to a walk through
the forest or park.
Orienteering is a walking road rally that requires no expensive
equipment- nature has laid out the course and transportation is
by "shank's mare." Comfortable walking shoes, light clothes just
right for the season, compass and map, pencil or pen, and you're
all "geared up"! Making the way from one indicated point on the
topographical map to another, pitting skill and judgement in map
reading, use of compass, recognition of landmarks and ability to move
cross-country with that of competitors, the orienteer sets his own
pace ... with the one sport where there are no losers.
John Disley, organizer of the first English National Championship,
provides in this book all the information needed to be an orienteer
or to organize an orienteering group."
