The wayfaring leaflet attached to this page explains all about how to get started.
Wayfaring is similar to orienteering, except the posts are permanent. It is really an exploration with a difference. Instead of following a marked path or using a self-guided trail, you decide on your route (or use a pre-set route) to find a number of control points with the help of a map.
You may use the search for controls as added interest on a gentle walk round the park, as a treasure hunt for the family, or to liven up a jogging session.
Most of the controls are accessible for people with additional needs, including wheelchair users.
