I'd like to learn a map reading, taking a bearing etc.

No probs. Try and find out how many paces you do in 100m, dont worry if you dont have a chance tho.

Seems like we could have a Saturday where we orienteer ourselves to a forest somewhere (or from a forest and back again), put up a few tarps, light a fire and cook dinner on it. Then either stay the night or head home.

Stay the night.  I've got my "Hunka" to try out :)

This seems to have stirred some interest so do we want to try and tie down dates (to give everyone time to plan) and discuss a bit of an agenda?

So a start point could be The Antrim Hills on the weekend of 8th June .... we can work out later on what format the various activites will take, but can we agreed it will be informal and relaxing to afford everyone the chance to contribute.

Sounds Good to me.

Count me in, think moving it to June will give more time to to prepare stuff and let the boys get Ben Nevis over them. Then wee will have a few stories to hear.
