Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body.

It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, as you can run, walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace.
That is not the same thing.
Of course you can walk - but if we keep giving people the impression that thats what orienteering is, do we really expect people to aspire to do it?
(And if I want to go for a walk I dont need to pay a £1 BOF levy to do it either)
Maybe part two of the survery will allow more comment.
