Back in September we ran an orienteering maze as part of the brilliant Outdoor Learning Challenge in Holyrood Park where pupils ran an amazing 1394 attempts at our maze over the two days.
It has been great to get some of the pupil/staff feedback from the event today
Summary = Orienteering is great!

Busy and very hot day at Gracemount Mansion and then in the playground of Gracemount Primary with the Discover group. A very lively bunch who got stuck into the maze and then the CluedO Score and Photo-O. Great to see so many great maps decorating the school playground.

If you are in the Penicuik area why not try out the Rotary Club Photo Challenge, a Photo-Orienteering activity highlighting some historical and quirky locations in the town centre. Anyone can have a go for free and local school children can take part and enter into a prize draw.
