As with many other sports, orienteering has many different variations. This allows as many different people as possible are able to take part in some form /*of orienteering. If you find that you do not like traditional foot orienteering, then you may find that you enjoy an alternative discipline much more. Here is some information about orienteering disciplines that you can try in and around the UK:
TRADITIONAL ORIENTEERING
Foot orienteering is normally done in a rural setting on open access land, in a forest or on a private estate where participants are not constrained by public Rights of Way.
CYCLE ORIENTEERING
Cycle orienteering is normally done on a mountain bike. Participants ride between controls rather than running. Mountain bikes are recommended for participants because they are better for covering a mixture of different terrains. Most cycle orienteering courses are much longer than traditional foot courses. Cycle orienteering for adults is divided into two main categories: Mountain Bike Orienteering Score (MBO Score) and Multi-Terrain Bike Orienteering (MTBO).
