Tuesday evening saw the first session in our spring women's introduction to orienteering course. 16 women and 5 coaches gathered in various states of nervousness at Low Park Wood near Sizergh. For many it was their first taste of orienteering although a few 'old hands' returned for more. We focussed on getting familiar with an orienteering map, and for many who had only used OS maps previously it was a revelation in the scale and detail! Following the session we all enjoyed some fantastic baking by Heather (Heppenstall). Feedback was extremely positive, everyone seemed to love the session and promised to be back for more next week at Cunswick Scar.
