March Miles route ideas – The Drummer Boy 3-mile orienteering trail
17 March 2021 | Jill Lundberg | Posted in: Community
If you want to do some orienteering while clocking up your miles, then here’s a fabulous three-mile trail. Make your miles even more fun by challenging yourselves with some questions to answer along the way. Thank you to Richmond Online for kindly allowing us to use their great map and to Mrs Southgate for putting the orienteering tasks together. If you would like to know how you scored in the challenge, then please email hsouthgate@richmondschool.net who will be happy to check your answers.

Please note the following when students are taking part in the challenge:
- Ensure parents/carers know the route students are taking
- Students always carry a phone in case of emergency
- Stick to the footpaths and leave all gates as you find them, keeping dogs on leads where requested
- Wear appropriate footwear and tread carefully as some sections of the routes may be quite muddy
- Students should take care when crossing roads and be very careful if there are any fields with livestock in
