Why don't some enterprising young IT-savvy Orienteers make a short video or videos that illustrate Orienteering in the way they'd like it to be portrayed (eg use headcams, rushing through forest, jumping brashings, pushing aside saplings, etc).

Then post them on youtube and/or use viral marketing: send a copy to all your mailing list asking them to do the same to theirs.

If the videos were exciting or fun or both, it might start a wave effect.

Funny you should say that - Mharky is bringing his head camera to try out at Docharn today!

Oxford city race would be good for videos.

Youtube orienteering videos (as it's in the news today) -

One of these is a 'beer relay' (well they are Czech) - but there are some of the Jukola & Venla, and Spain, NZ, US. Anyone from the UK posted one?

And, does this illustrate Orienteering in the way we'd like it to be portrayed?

Er.. the Spanish video is how I like orienteering to be portrayed.
But, I'm not sure what's going on in episode 2.
