The images on this webpage are from a recent MOC (My Own Creation) idea
for a LEGO model, built using the free Lego Digital Designer software
and (partially) rendered with assistance from the free BrickLink Studio software.
It was created for an entry into a LEGO IDEAS competition called “WE
LOVE SPORTS!”, which was launched in late December, 2020. The Text below
was used in supporting the submitted images:
“Orienteering is a sport that requires navigational skills
using a map and compass to navigate against the clock from point to
point in diverse and usually unfamiliar terrain. It is included in the
programs of world sporting events including the World Games.
There are different variations of this lesser-known sport, which began
in the late 19th century in Sweden. Its popularity has since spread and
there are now over 70 national orienteering federations, as recognised
by the international orienteering federation, the governing
body of the sport of orienteering.
This model shows a scene from an orienteering event. It is set on a
32x32 stud baseplate and two control points are shown in their
characteristic style of two triangles in white and red. There are four
minifigures shown here taking part in a competition.”

Addendum, February 2021
The model was extended at a later date, just for fun, to include a river, bridge, start/finish area, refreshments area and a third control point:
