WHO put on a terrific coaching day for bush novices at Fed Caterson Reserve in Castle Hill on Saturday.

Now that our summer series have finished and daylight saving is about to end, it's time we all turn our attention to traditional orienteering - line courses through the bush, requiring compass navigation.

That demands a whole new skill set and instructor Barry Hanlon had around 25 attendees lapping up his knowledge, including 10 students from Arden College (Epping) preparing for the state finals of the Hillary Challenge.

After a discussion about the 5 key skills, the novices set out on 1.7km course to put those skills into practice.

Thanks Barry and WHO for this great initiative - it's already booked in for next year.
