Orienteering is topic of program
As part of its ongoing series of community programs, REI Saratoga has invited Abby Wolfe of the Bay Area Orienteering Club to give a presentation on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. She will introduce attendees to the history and dynamics of orienteering, in which individuals use strategy and map-reading skills while walking or running to find destinations marked on a map by the event organizers who set the course.
For those interested in trying the sport for real, Wolfe will provide information on two South Bay orienteering adventures coming in November. REI is in the El Paseo de Saratoga shopping center. There is no charge to attend this event; all ages are welcome. Call 408.871.8765 for more information.
