It's always great to have a fun group of people to travel and compete with/against!
This is one of the things I've always loved about orienteering too! For me I think of orienteering as the combo of running, problem solving, being outside in a gorgeous place, traveling, and friends/community. All the things that make me happy in life. :-)
Orienteers are quite an amazing bunch!
Agree with this. It's great to have little pockets of friends throughout the world
