Owner: owner-orbital@xmission.com (Pete Ashdown) orienteering Contact: orienteering-request@graphics.cornell.edu (Mitch Collinsworth) Purpose: Discussion of the sports of orienteering and rogaineing. Orienteering is the sport of navigating through unknown terrain with the use of map and compass. It is commonly conducted either running or cross-country skiing depending on the season. Rogaineing is a similar sport with the main differences being that it is done over long distances and in teams rather than individually.
