ABSTRACT
Taking a group for a walk allows the leader to involve all the group participants in some way, from initial route planning to navigation while outdoors. Sometimes the benefit to a group of participants comes from simply being in the outdoor environment, rather than undertaking elaborately planned activities. A walk' may be a short excursion or a multi-day expedition. The art of good leadership rests on the ability to delegate and co-ordinate, rather than doing; this applies as much to adventure learning instructors entrusting tasks and responsibilities to participants as it does to leaders of a team of workers. A bespoke course can be set up in a relatively small area, and may even include some indoor control point locations if there are not enough control point locations outdoors. Photo orienteering is ideal for an urban environment or for a group not familiar with rural features; it uses pictures to supplement navigational, visual and logical thinking skills.
