Orienteering
Great basic book
I ordered this book as a manual to teach basic orienteering from and it served me well. The exercises are best suited to middle school ages, but will work for all with some modifications.

Orienteering
A must read for Orienteers and others interested in basic land nav
This book is clear, concise and well-organized. It covers all the fundamentals of orienteering, and I think anyone that read it would have a good idea of what to expect on arriving at their first O event. Anyone who completed some of the exercises should have some confidence that he or she could complete at least an intermediate level O course (assuming reasonably good fitness). The book also includes very basic information on physical training (anyone who is a serious runner will not learn a lot from those sections, but trail running is different than road running, so don't skip those sections if you are strictly a road runner). The book also includes dozens of activities to teach various skills, and a good glossary. I highly recommend this book.

Never Get Lost Again
This book is a MUST for anyone who dreams of wandering off the beaten path. It teaches the skills and techniques to ensure safe travel through the woods.
It also offers racing tips to improve your time and speed. A good book to have if you like orienteering. I recommend it to my class and my cross-country team, too.

Orienteering
Down to Earth, clear explanations and practical advice
Good from begginer to medium/advanced, this book covers the basics of navigation as well as advanced techniques, such as handrailing. There are equipment and training chapters as well, in all a comprehensive book on a great sport.
