Challenging outdoor adventures- what's not to like?

Have you thought about orienteering? Perhaps not the first thought that pops into your mind as you stumble out of bed in the morning - but what a great past-time it is! It doesn't matter what age you are or how fit you are. The aim is to navigate between certain points (in sequence) in the fasted possible time. You can walk, jog, run, sprint - it's all a great challenge for the mind and body.

British Orienteering have an informative and easy to use website for you to navigate your way around (little iMember joke there!) and they can direct you to your local orienteering association. AND apart from the obvious health and social benefits of orienteering, if you are a member of British Orienteering,  you will see that the benefits they have negotiated for you are superb. Like so many membership organisations - so many benefits, so little brain-memory space to remember them. Cue iMember.....simply register (for free) at www.iMember.co.uk and list all your membership organisations and you will be reminded of all the benefits / discounts / bonuses you can claim.

There is also a mobile app you can download (again, it's free) so if you are out and about (perhaps orienteering!) and you come within a certain radius of one of your member benefits you will get an alert to your mobile phone.

British Orienteering offer discounts with SkyParkSecure airport parking; Cotswold Outdoors; Go Ape; the Youth Hostelling Association; The AA plus many more.



Remember you're a member
