Permanent Orienteering Courses were originally set up in conjunction with the Forestry Commission when they were known as Wayfaring. Following the growth of courses, particularly in conjunction with local authorities, and the broader use such courses as an introductory step introduction into orienteering, the term Wayfaring was dropped in 1988 in favour of 'Permanent Orienteering Courses'. Permanent orienteering courses provide an excellent introduction to the sport providing a range of suggested courses and are an ideal way of introducing schools and groups to the sport.
Permanent courses are normally open throughout the day.
Details of all these are contaned in an A5 booklet. You can get copies of these leaflets or find your nearest permanent course by contacting the British Orienteering Federation office . Page Designed by Paul Todd.
