About Checkpoint Challenges

Do you like taking walks in the park or hiking but wish you could engage your mind too?

Set off on an extraordinary outdoor adventure with Checkpoint Challenges. Improve your map reading expertise as you navigate your own path between checkpoints!

A new version of Orienteering......

Like traditional orienteering, each course consists of a sequence of points marked on a map that must be visited in sequence. Participants choose their own route between the checkpoints, eventually returning back to the Start location. However, instead of a full-size paper map, your smartphone will only show you the current map segment with an intergated compass along with details on your progess and hints to prevent you getting lost.

Select your own time and pace...

No need to wait for club meetings as our courses are available whenever you're ready. Engage in competitive action with rankings for each leg or enjoy as a recreational activity. This enriching outdoor pursuit is perfect for any active person or adventurous group.

Why did it take so long for this to be invented. Well done and thank you!

Did this solo and really enjoyed it. Going to take some friends out next time!

Yes, I got lost, but I was soon back on track! I loved the whole experience but especially the helpful warning when I got too far off course :-)
