On-Table Exersices Series. #1 (16.10.25)

On-Table Exercises Series #1 (25.10.16)

Today we have two fairly simple exercises: adding slope lines where they are needed.
(Slope lines are short marks that indicate the direction of the slope.)



You can either print these maps or complete the exercises on your computer or tablet.

You can find the answers in this Google folder 

Exercise maps: by Aleksandr Alekseyonok.
The maps are taken from the Practical Guide “Confident Orienteering, Book 2: Planning Reliable Routes”, which will be released on October 22, 2025 
(in just 5 days!) — don’t miss it.

Book 1 in the series, “Fundamentals”, is available here.

New o-book is coming this fall!

  New O-Book Coming This Fall! Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors Book 1: Fundamentals was released in October 2023 and has already been translated into seven languages , alongside the original English edition. With 8 chapters and 140 pages, it introduced the core concepts of the author's navigation system — and I’m still amazed at how warmly it was received by orienteers around the world. 🌍 As we continued working on the next part of this practical guide, it became clear that the project had grown into something much bigger — not least because of the sheer number of examples and illustrations included throughout (around 250 in total!).

Book 2 Nears the Finish Line

  Book 2 Nears the Finish Line Editors Ross Barnett and Clive Allen are now in the final stage of polishing Confident Orienteering Book 2: Planning Reliable Routes . Ross has already done two full read-throughs, which put me on an emotional high – and it’s still going! Clive has started the final proofread before layout. My wife, Svetlana (the book designer), and I are wrapping up the explanatory graphics for the illustrations. The test readers have also finished reading all the chapters. I’ll share their feedback once we start the layout phase. If all goes well, in about two weeks we’ll begin laying out Book 2. The goal is to release it in late September or early October. Fingers crossed everything runs smoothly in these last weeks. Work on Book 3 (Routes executing) is also moving fast. Only two chapters are left – and then the whole Practical Guide  'Confident Orienteering: A Systematic Approach to Minimising Errors' will be complete.  Editing is already underway on...
