Videos will be available here.

South London Orienteers have produced a series of eight videos showing different techniques used in orienteering. The videos are presented by different athletes from the GB Orienteering team and filmed in different locations. The aim of the series is to help juniors deal with more technically demanding courses, but these films can also be used to show beginners how to get started in our sport. Each video focuses on a specific orienteering skill.

One video per week will be launched on South London Orienteers' YouTube channel each Friday at 5pm during January and February. The 5 minute videos are designed to be downloaded to phones or tablets for easy reference and repetition. The video release is linked to races and coaching sessions taking place across the South East: watch a film, focus on a technique and have a successful run.

By the end of February, the whole series will be available on South London Orienteers' You Tube channel.
