3) Pathfinder Orienteering This activity is a development of the Pace Orienteering in which the location of the checkpoints are varied by the organiser. The participants are provided with a Layout Map which they carry along with their Score Card. The added challenge is that when a participant arrives at a checkpoint they must not only write down the number of the next checkpoint but they must also consult the Layout Map to find its location. Blank Layout Map example - The instructor inserts the checkpoint numbers. GAMES & ACTIVITIES WEB COPY ©EVEQUE
