Permanent Wayfaring Courses

On the Isle of Wight there are three permanent wayfaring courses set out in the forests. Each course has 20+ permanent marker posts with a number and identifying letters ****. These are set out in the forest, some on paths, others more difficult to find. You may select your own route and use as many controls as you wish.

 

 

You may purchase a WAYFARING PACK containing an orienteering map that has all the controls marked as numbered circles. There is also an instruction sheet with useful orienteering tips and a control card. Packs are available for: -
