Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Moonlight Madness at Harbord Wed Sep 14

Organisers promise the sparkle of moonlight upon ocean, reprising many a romantic scene from The Love Boat, when the last of our 2016 'lunartic' outings takes place at Harbord on Wednesday night.

Bennelong Northside setters David and Clyde McGhee have borrowed Garingal's Fleshwater map for the finale to Moonlight Madness for this year. Highlights are the boardwalk to South Curl Curl, the dunes to North Curly, Freshwater Beach, the Duke surfing statue, and the big hill in the middle of the map.

With the days lengthening, the start window for this event will be 5.45-7.30pm. Assembly is at Jacka Park. You'll need a headlamp or torch. It's a great warm-up for the summer series that are just around the corner.
