Orienteering hits the Airwaves
As we were planning our series of Summer of Sport family friendly taster sessions we were delighted when the adverts caught the eye of Rachel Bell, a presenter on BBC Radio Scotland’s Out of Doors program. Out of Doors is broadcast weekly covering features on Scotland’s countryside, nature, wildlife and outdoor activities.
Rachel Bell signed up to bring her family along to Hazlehead Park in Aberdeen to join in the fun and find out more about orienteering. Listen in to hear more about their adventures (the feature on orienteering starts 10 minutes in).
