Introduction to Orienteering
Active Travel Rochdale have been working in partnership with British Orienteering to provide three new digital orienteering routes that start and finish at Castleton Library.
Using the MapRun6 app, you will walk, jog or run around the local area collecting electronic checkpoint controls.
The routes are live and available to access whenever you like, but during this intro session, the friendly Active Travel Rochdale team will be on-hand to get you up and running with the app and offer some basic wayfinding tips.
