Argos have been running some weird adverts including this https://www.facebook.com/argos/videos/436732920273268/ It features an orienteering marker (and pin punch). Any idea where this could be?

I think they're looking up the north face of Creag Choinnich and have just realised they have to get to the top for their next control. That or they've just come out of the woods behind the toilet trench...

It is a weird advert and the orienteering reference is a subtle as you could possibly be. Whoever produced this must have had some inkling of orienteering and found a permanent course (BOF website search perhaps?)

Similar experience many years ago, can't remember where. We ran through a battle in the woods, between orc and elves ( well people dressed as ,presumably). A bit surreal, but they were confused as well.

This is a reference to the classic Mike Leigh film ' Nuts in May' with Alison Steadman as Candace-Marie and Roger Sloman as Keith. Absolutely brilliant, worth seeking out if you haven't seen it- but does not actually feature orienteering.
