Today Gail and I took the Level 3 Public Services year 2 students (C group) to Taunton to complete the two Orienteering courses in Vivary Park and Longrun Meadow.
The morning session consisted of completing the Vivary Park course in pairs working on their map to ground navigation using orienteering maps of the venue.
The afternoon session saw the students complete the Longrun Meadow course independently in a competition framework. Sometimes this particular group can be a challenge to motivate but it was inspiring to see them fully engaged due to the competitive element.
Longrun Meadow and Vivary Park are public orienteering courses and maps are available at a small fee from the Tourist Information Office or from Quantock Orienteers.
