Orienteering DVD by VEA (Video Education America)


Found this DVD at the local public library, and loaned it out. It is a 26 minute non-fiction education video, distributed by VEA, based in White Plains, NY 10601 ( http://www.veavideo.com/Product.aspx?id=244 ).

The video seems to be produced by an Australian club called Victoria orienteering club. They mention the sun to be mostly on the north during the mid-day hours. Also, the term they use for orienteering in the forest is "Bush Orienteering". They compare that with "Park Orienteering", in which it uses a local park without too much "bush". In the park orientering, there are images of the control points in which the characteristic flag markers are not used, but instead flat red-and-white metal plates laying horizontally on the ground are used, with a card puncher along with it.
