Hiking
This is an orienteering trail aimed at families and beginners.
Discover orienteering around the site of a Bronze Age burial mound and former MOD radar station. Waxcap fungi are slimy and colourful fungi found in grassy areas – there are 38 types in Dorset alone.
Orienteering involves using a special map with numbers and finding control markers hidden on posts, gates or other things out in the countryside.
Who can find all the checkpoints in the quickest time?
Walk, jog or run – remember, the quickest route may not always be the shortest.
