Done oodles of jungle lanes but would be interested in ones where a bolt gun would not be a disadvantage but still required speed.

maybe a bolt action jungle lane could have targets spread along further maybe? instead of multipul snap shots in a tight space perhaps.Id be hell keen on the orienteering one as i love nav and use to compete in Orienteering as a high schooler.

Nav with map and compass only but.
It could be safely run with a time limit and done in pairs. Just needs planning. Hooning along a track would be pointless.
Nav to firing point.
Bearing to a hard mid range target. No rangefinders would sort out the men from the boys.

+1 something very similar is used to test military personnel that have high quality training.
Even with the training and excellent background in navigation it's amazing how so few manage to pass.
Gillies old man will know all about it and I believe is still the only pogue for lack of a better word, to have passed.

Shit I can't remember. If I took any of you's for nav you all would now have a fucked sense of direction lol.
Unless I used the baggies bar or the mess as a checkpoint.

Dont worry Sgt Hata re alinged our bearings for us...................he ran the sec gauntlet more than a few times he redeamed himself by standing up at the end of the third one with a smile......all was forgiven and became a very good navigator after that still in contact today.
