My cousin uses a similar system for some off road racing. Each racer is given a strip of paper that fits into a similar device and they contain instructions like "Turn left 75 degrees at the V shaped tree, travel 0.2 miles" the strip holder attaches to the handlebars of his bike.

 

If they follow all the instructions perfectly they pass by a few out of sight checkpoints and get a stamp in their logbook.

I like such games. A time before (when GPS satellites were only drawn on paper sheets) I did an "orientation run" thru woods with compass, itineraire (turn left at fork-shaped tree...) and a hiking map.

 

And now, there are few caches in my country with such "human" listing (how many stumps there are on your right-hand, do you see stumps or rocks, etc...). I hate such silly formulas with 15 levels of parenthesis or mystery caches that you can completely google out.

 

Have a nice day.
