Quad Orienteering

Desert Adventure

 

For a Desert Adventure team building around Dubai, we propose also the newest outdoor activity: Quad Orienteering. Just like for the traditional Orienteering, this team building will bring many benefits to the team. But in this case, there are also strong emotions that only sport driving can give. It’s a new proposal to boost team spirit and work intensively on the concept of team work.

Team Building Quad Orienteering: how is it done?

Basic principles are the same of the traditional orienteering activity. Once the participants have been divided in a team, each team leader will be given a compass and a card to stamp. The members of the team will assign internal roles. Eventually, they can decide to alternate at the steering control, so that everybody will try to drive a quad.

The starts will be staggered. Participants will have to reach the control points, marked on the map, in strict sequential order. In each point, to prove the transition, a member of the team will get off the quad to stamp the card. At the finish line, we will detect the time and retire the card. If all the stamps will appear to be regular, we will proclaim winner the team that has employed less time to cover the itinerary.

Desert and quad: a challenging activity

We have decided to create a desert orienteering challenge so as to make it even more challenging. Moving through the dunes, on foot or by quad, team members will have to make decisions all together to find the best path to follow. No one can be left behind: even more than in a park or forest, in the desert it is impossible to endure in solitude.

In Quad Orienteering team building in the desert, team members will be outside their comfort zone, making decisions and finding the right landmarks not only in an unfamiliar environment, but also driving a quad bike. You will observe the behaviors of technical leadership VS charismatic leadership, and observe how decisions are made and what their premises are.

Quad orienteering: a new proposal

The novelty we propose is very interesting because it engages team members both in the discipline of driving and in orienting and interpreting a map.

The winning weapon in orienteering is not only the speed with which one navigates the route but the ability to choose the shortest route and locate checkpoints without error. Often it is the rider most skilled in map reading and memorization who achieves lower times than the one with the most powerful ATV. So there are many variables at play and all must work synergistically to achieve the best performance.

What is a quad-bike?

A quad-bike, also known as an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV), is a vehicle that can be used in almost any terrain. A quad orienteering team building activity lasts from 60 minutes and up and involves driving the vehicle at different speeds in the desert.

 

Is it a safe activity?

Yes, if you are careful and follow safety guidelines, quad-biking is a safe sport. The tires are specially designed to maneuver easily over mountain terrain or sand dunes. For any further information, do not hesitate to contact us.

Quad Orienteering: who, when, where?

Quad Orienteering team building activity is recommended for all those companies that want to work intensively on group identity, division of roles and achievement of common goals. In addition, this activity is very stimulating and arouses enthusiasm in younger and more active participants.

The main difference between Quad Orienteering and other Desert Adventure team building is that activities without quads can be held anywhere, while those with quads can only be organized at Hatta road, 45 minutes from Dubai and 30 minutes from Down town.
