People are being given a chance to learn the skill of orienteering at an Oxford beauty spot on Sunday.

Armed with maps and compasses, participants will be taught how to negotiate Shotover Country Park at Headington.

Glen Murray, countryside ranger for Oxford City Council, pictured above, said: "Orienteering is a great way to explore the countryside. There will be a variety of courses to suit all ages and abilities."

The event is being run by Thames Valley Orienteering Club and Oxford City Council.

It takes place between 10am and noon and costs £3.50 for a map and control card. Toddlers and young children can take part for free.
