The seven point plan
I recommend that you use the following routine as you go round your course.
This seven point plan applies at all levels of orienteering.
It's just that as you gain experience and progress to more navigationally
challenging courses your strategies become more sophisticated and you use
a wider range of techniques. The basic routine remains the same.
At a control
1. Check the control code.
2. Punch.
3. Decide your strategy for getting to the
next control.
4. Check your direction as you leave the
control.
Between controls
5. Check the feature (and the control code)
of the next control.
6. Are you seeing what you expect to see?
7. Are you expecting what you see?
The individual points in this seven point plan are explained in the
following pages.
