Seeking sponsorship for the print version of my O-book!

 Seeking sponsorship for the print version of my O-book!

Hello, Dear Orienteers! 

I'm currently working on the second part of the 'Confident Orienteering' practical guide - Book 2. I plan to release it by the end of 2024. The entire team that worked on Book 1 is still involved in the project, and I am immensely grateful to them for their ongoing support. Without their help, this project wouldn't have come this far.



The book was originally released in English less than 5 months ago, and people from 40 countries have already bought it. Additionally, it now has versions available in French and Ukrainian.  Versions  in Danish and Polish are expected very soon (within a few weeks). Currently, all of these versions are digital formats, except for the French version, which is also available in print thanks to translator Fabrice Laperque.


I'm inspired by the look of the printed version of the first book and plan to release a print version of the original guide as well. As a potential option, I'm looking for sponsors who might want to place their advertising on the pages of this guide.

Furthermore, you can watch a video showcasing the French version of Book 1. It features numerous pictures, excellent paper quality, and a convenient format.

If you have any suggestions or questions, please contact me at the following contacts:

  Case Study #4 Case: You ran onto a narrow ride slightly below its end and are unsure which of several similar rides you are on.   Solution: In this situation, the relief profile can assist us. Even if the rides themselves appear similar, the relief profile along each ride differs , providing valuable clues for accurate positioning. This approach is discussed in Chapter 3 ( Using All the Indicators for Confident Positioning ) of the book Planning Reliable Routes . It demonstrates that relief can be used not only when we are uncertain about our current location , but also proactively during route planning . By analysing the map in advance, we can identify segments where linear features intersect with relief forms , creating distinct and easily recognisable points. These can serve as reliable positioning features . Additionally, flat areas and transitions between slopes and level terrain can also support effective location verification. (Example taken from my book Plann...

Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #21

  Left, Right, or Straight: Leg Analysis #21 Today we will take a look at Leg 5–6 from the M18 Long Distance course at the   Novembertävlingarna, lång event (23.11.2025) Organising club Tullinge SK (Sweden) In the M18 class, the most successful route choices used a less distinct path running between the hills. In general, the approach to the control could be planned either contouring around the hillside or crossing over the top . This decision largely influenced the entire route choice on this leg. Interestingly, both of these approaches were used by the fastest runners on this leg (Carl-Meijer Axelsson and Jonathan Enarsson) — and both produced very similar results . The athlete who placed 3rd on this leg - Ivar Nordberg (and eventually 3rd overall ) most likely made a mistake. After reaching the top of the hill , he deviated down toward the open field — a move that doesn't seem justified. Most likely, he lost direction while descending the slope. This leg also ...

The Road to JWOC 2026, #2 (Long Distance)

  The Road to JWOC 2026, #2 (Long Distance) Short  Leg 1: what to do In the previous post in this series, we identified—based on the terrain characteristics and extensive experience from many previous competitions in this area—that a short first leg with complex navigation is highly likely. In this post, we focus on what exactly to do in such a situation. Let us begin by explaining why we are specifically discussing short first legs . If the first leg is longer , it will most likely intersect paths , as this terrain is full of paths of different types . In that case, an athlete has several safety options : – choosing a detour along paths; – or navigating less precisely on a bearing , deliberately aiming off early to hit a path and then restoring exact position while running along it. https://www.livelox.com/Viewer/JVM-test-lang/D20?classId=392774&live=false&tab=player In such scenarios, the initial nervousness and uncertainty at the beginning of the co...
