When I was in school (Bern, Switzerland,1975-1987) orienteering was part of the normal sport curriculum. Our equipment wasn't so high tech, but the fun was the same! Orienteering was pushed by the Military, it really helped me a lot during my service years (1987-2005)

[@StephenJReid]

I wish we had that at school! I hated sports at school as it was team games like rugby or cricket and I was terrible at them.

This just came up in my recommended list. So glad I found this as I do orienteering at regional and National level and will be attending a national training camp in the summer. Orienteering has been a massive part of my life and I’m so glad that it’s getting some publicity that it deserves

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Luke, glad you enjoyed the video 🙂 I’ll definitely be back to try it again

[@TravelRunner]

I've never seen a "thumbpass" before but by gosh now I need one! I've done an orienteering race once but this one was much or tech savoy with the electric-thumb-prob-thing. Looks like it was a great time, and as always, you captured the event perfectly. Nice job, Stephen!

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks! Yeah I had a lot of fun doing this. I’m going to go back and do another one soon, a bit more competitively this time!

[@trailrunningphil]

Lovely video. Great to hear all the views of the people who take part regularly.

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks Phil! Great friendly bunch

[@robinvage4290]

Ohhh what a slap in the face 😂 And I want a thumbpass , don't need, just want!

[@StephenJReid]

Haha, poor Richard, he didn’t even complain 😂 I want my own now too

[@DroningaboutIreland]

Good afternoon Stephen 👍

[@StephenJReid]

Good afternoon!

[@davidpoots8362]

You dun it again another great idea, my dog would love it

[@StephenJReid]

Thanks David! Definitely a great one for dogs, I think they were better at it than the humans 😂

[@ianrunningforpudding4915]

I want to try this just so I have an excuse to buy a Thumb Compass! They look cool.

[@StephenJReid]

Haha, yeah I felt like I was in a sci-fi movie with it on 😂

[@ciboha6357]

Our whole family is running orienteering it ia great sport for kids, old ppl and not goodbrunners like me😂. You need to find control,make quick desitions and run in unknow forest, places and towns.

[@StephenJReid]

You've reminded me I need to go an do this again!

[@okeydokeykie]

[@DroningaboutIreland]

[@StephenJReid]

How long was the course you did?

[@DroningaboutIreland]

@@StephenJReid not sure but not long, it was my family and other's running around the forest

[@pixelpeter3883]

Next: geocaching!

[@StephenJReid]

Ive done it. Haven’t made a video about it…yet

[@adventurousdavee]

Have you ever tried geocaching ? If you like this you would like that .

[@StephenJReid]

I have yeah, did it a bit a few years ago. Louise really enjoys it

I've never seen that every control is safely secured against theft. I'm glad that we don't have to do this in Switzerland.

[@StephenJReid]

Depends on location, this park is in quite an urban area

[@natasaajdanic9367]

This is orienteering foot

[@StephenJReid]

Orienteering foot? Is that a medical condition?
