Orienteering and Exploring

Orienteering

Orienteering is a family of sport that requires navigational skills using a map and compass to navigate from point to point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain, and normally moving at speed. Talkin Tarn’s orienteering course explores lots of hidden places within the park – so why not test your skills and give it a go and download the free orienteering course sheet.

Geocaching

Geocaching is a great way to explore the outdoors, and Talkin Tarn has a number of secret Geocaches to be found. If you have never tried this activity before then Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook (with a pen or pencil). The geocacher enters the date they found it and signs it with their established code name.

So if you would like to give it a go, and get all the clue’s you need to find Talkin Tarn geocaches then check out
