Courses White Very easy. Controls (= checkpoints) are on tracks or linear features such as fences, streams etc. Yellow Easy. Controls are on or visible from linear features such as tracks, fences, streams and vegetation boundaries. Orange Short Moderate difficulty. You should only choose an orange course if you have successfully completed Yellow courses. The course will offer route choice to controls which are NOT on tracks. You should understand contours and be able to use a compass to determine direction. Orange Long Moderate difficulty. As above, but a longer distance. Red 1,2,3 & 4 Difficult, technical courses for more experienced orienteers. You should only choose a red course if you have successfully completed several orange level courses. Courses have route choice, areas of complex detail, and small point features. Purple Technically difficult (like red courses) but less physically challenging course aimed at older orienteers.
