Free/Low Cost

Orienteering start sign

Some people associate doing physical activities and sports as costly pastimes. But there are plenty of things that you can do that don’t cost anything. Outdoor activities such as walking, running and orienteering don’t require any cost as long as you have suitable equipment to do it in (and that certainly doesn’t mean the latest trend in trainers!). Cost doesn’t have to be a barrier so hopefully you’ll get some ideas and be inspired by some of the information and activities below.
