I'm like a Puma ready to bound through the undergrowth....

I particularly liked the excitement that we feel as we approach a control flag... my heart is racing just thinking about my next control...

Yes if you're going to have uninspiring video accompanied by an inane script, you may as well have an irritating voice and patronising manner as well :roll:

Sadly, this is also on YouTube somewhere - or was,I can't find it today (cheers!)

On the other hand, 2 more of juananto's YouTube 'orienteering' videos.
(Apologies if there's already a a link to these somewhere on Nopesport)

So that's how radio-orienteering works.
