Variety

The courses for younger JOGgers are always away from roads and other hazards and tend to follow a traditional style of orienteering.

However, the Fox course is aimed at more experienced orienteers. It often incorporates training elements, such as map memory (by not letting you carry the map), regaining map contact (by blanking out areas of the map), compass and pacing (by giving distances and directions rather than a map) and so on.

We've even have a bit of urban training...
