" Orienteering is a family of sports that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain, and normally moving at speed. Participants are given a topographical map, usually a specially prepared orienteering map, which they use to find control points. "
So in big, this is orienteering. I didn't hear about this, untill now, but when I was invited by Takumi to join him... I didn't tought, that it will be like this.
We didn't run, we just had to stay in one point, and take care of control points.
 |
| This was my control point |
I just went with Takumi... I didn't want to stay alone FOR 4 HOURS. They said, that those points are close to each other, and we can communicate with the others... yea sure... on phone, maybe...
It was not fun at all-.-
 |
| Here is everyone... |
 |
| He was that someone, who organised us in small groups |
 |
| That place was the finish |
After we stayed there a while, they gave us our control points, and we went to the points where we had to stay. I thought that orienteering is in nature, in unusual places... not in town, and not near where I live... So I stayed in front of a building, alone, for 4 hours... how fun~
 |
| For the first hour I stayed on these stairs... |
 |
| After I just took pics about myself... |
I really can't explain how boring it was.... I read, I listened to music, I even talked with some strange grannys...
I talked to my mom too, she asked me, if I want something, since I was that close to my house... And she baked pancakes for us, for when we will get home... Pancakes was great, with apple, and Takumi love pancakes, so we ate a lot, when we arrived home. But it was still boring staying there.
They asked us for help for next year too... but I will have to think about it a lo~t... I will have to be very bored to get there again....
And for the run... and orienteering... my orientation sucks... so no way o(>< )o
And Takumi owe me a lo~t for this...
