Book Reviews of Orienteering: The Sport of Navigating with Map and Compass

Book Review: A must read for Orienteers and others interested in basic land nav
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is clear, concise and well-organized. It covers all the fundamentals of orienteering, and I think anyone that read it would have a good idea of what to expect on arriving at their first O event. Anyone who completed some of the exercises should have some confidence that he or she could complete at least an intermediate level O course (assuming reasonably good fitness). The book also includes very basic information on physical training (anyone who is a serious runner will not learn a lot from those sections, but trail running is different than road running, so don't skip those sections if you are strictly a road runner). The book also includes dozens of activities to teach various skills, and a good glossary. I highly recommend this book.

Summary of Orienteering: The Sport of Navigating with Map and Compass

Map and compass reading, programs and courses, skills quizzes and exercises, conditioning and nutrition advice, and rules for competitors.
