  • The Using of Modern Technologies in Orienteering
    The using of modern technologies in orienteering Michal Frainšic1, Petr Špicar2, Ludmila Fialová2 1 Department of Outdoor activities, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2 Department of Pedagogy, Psychology and Didactics of sport, Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Char- les University, Prague, Czech Republic Abstract The article deals with introduction and contribution of modern technologies used in a sport branch of ori- enteering sports in comparison with the past when these technologies were not used. Modern technologies contributed to expansion of orienteering sports. They made this branch of sport more attractive for both - com- petitors and spectators. Facilities like SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit and Racom transfered on-line results from race to competitors and spectators, who are in the race center. Thanks to those facilities spectators can also watch the race on-line on TV or on the Internet. Program OCAD made the preparation of orienteering maps and tracks faster and more effective. Modern technologies also speeded up the process of race preparation. Key words Emit, OCAD, Oorg, Open Orienteering Mapper, Purple Pen, Orienteering organiser, orienteering, orientee- ring sports, Racom, SPORTident, Trac-Trac. Souhrn Článek se věnuje představení a přínosu moderních technologií využívaných ve sportovních odvětvích orien- tačních sportů v porovnání s dobou minulou, kdy tyto technologie ještě využívány nebyly. Moderní technolo- gie se zasloužily o rozvoj orientačních sportů, toto sportovní odvětví zatraktivnily a to jak závodníkům, tak i široké veřejnosti. Zařízení SPORTident, Trac-Trac, Emit a Racom přináší okamžité výsledky a umožňují on-line přenosy výsledků trenérům, závodníkům na shromaždišti či divákům u televizní obrazovky.

  • Ballater Walking Festival Brochure 2020
    Ballater Walking Festival 16th to 22nd May 2020 . Essential Information If in doubt about anything, email [email protected] Walks Grading Each day, there are three or four categories of walk; Strenuous, Medium, Easy and Special Interest. A professional guide will lead the high-level Strenuous ones. Other walks will be led by experienced walkers with knowledge of Royal Deeside or rangers from Muir of Dinnet NNR, Aberdeenshire Council and Balmoral with expertise in flora, fauna and local history. Before making a choice, please read each walk description and the walk gradings listed below. • Strenuous These may include some of the following; significant ascent and descent of a Munro or two, considerable length in a remote area, crossing burns, easy scrambling, exposure to drops and perhaps at a brisk pace. These walks are for experienced hillwalkers with an above average level of fitness and stamina. Walking boots and warm, waterproof clothing are essential. Walkers unsure of their ability should contact the organisers in advance. • Medium Normally around nine to twelve miles, these walks are for participants who have a good level of fitness and experience of walking longer distances. There may be significant overall ascent, including a hill and other demanding aspects such as bog, thick heather, and varied surfaces including open hillside in a remote area. • Easy Taken at a fairly relaxed pace and usually under seven miles, there will be minimum gradients. For anyone who does not have a mobility difficulty, a specific health problem or is seriously unfit. An easy walk will be mainly on good paths and tracks with no sustained, very steep slopes or significant stretches of slippery or uneven surfaces.

  • Itinerary a Royal Trip to Aberdeenshire
    VisitAberdeenshire WELCOME TO ABERDEEN & ABERDEENSHIRE www.visitabdn.com A ROYAL TRIP TO ABERDEENSHIRE ITINERARY i Royal Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland The Royal Deeside area of Aberdeenshire presents visitors with a stunning backdrop of panoramic mountain views which reflect on the mirror like lochs that lay beneath them. Rugged beautiful landscapes are home to majestic stags that roam the hills and moors, while golden eagles soar high above the tree tops. It’s a place that like the many people before, will leave you feeling awe inspired. It is little surprise that in a list of 20 of the most relaxing holiday destinations in the world by travel publication Rough Guides, the Cairngorm National Park ranks as one of the best. If successive Royals get to be themselves here – imagine how you will feel. i Balmoral Castle The British Royal family has been visiting Aberdeenshire for over 100 years as their summer holiday destination of choice. It’s a matter of record that Queen Victoria fell deeply in love with what would become known as Royal Deeside (and the place where the current Queen is said to be at her happiest): “All seemed to breathe freedom and peace …” she wrote. It’s a sentiment that echoes through the years and still rings true today. Balmoral Castle, the summer residence of the Royal Family, is open to the public to explore important parts of the majestic castle as well as the great estate. i Cluny Castle This castle doubled as Balmoral Castle in the 2006 film The Queen, starring Helen Mirren. Mirren’s portrayal of the monarch won her several accolades, including the Academy Award for best actress in a leading role.
