Its a fun group activity. 

The ability to use a compass and navigate using a contour map are valuable life skills that provide excitement and challenge and may, one day, get you out of trouble. 

Stirling Experience have a number of established courses set within the Mt.Stirling Alpine Resort. Checkpoints are set within the safety network of the mountain trail system. Participants must navigate in teams using compass bearing and map reading skills to complete the courses. 

Orienteering sessions are normally run as half day activities (4 hour) and include a formal hour class instruction session covering compass reading and map interpretation, followed by some dead-reckoning exercises before undertaking the two hour course. All check-points are off trail, with the search requiring scrambling through the forest so sturdy shoes are advisable.

Optimum orienteering group sizes range from 10 to 60 participants. Please ensure participants bring a water bottle. Orienteering may be combined with a summit walk or mountain biking to provide an enjoyable full day program.
