I'm working on a text on adventure sports and one of the activities is 'droppings' or 'nachtdroppings'. The idea is that you get dropped off in the middle of the woods with only a map, a compass and a bag of Werther's Originals and you have to find your way back to base or an agreed rendez-vous.
What's the English term please???

orienteering exercises/competitions
This is the solution I used for a very similar text ;-) recently after racking my brain for a better solution. You could add 'group' or 'fun', depending on the context.
