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.

Tuve is on his way

We are happy to announce we will have a second orienteering scholar joining us in time for Christmas.

Tuve Moeller, is 19 and has just finished school in Uppsala in Sweden. For the past three years he was at a so called orienteering-gymnasium, which means that except normal classes they had daily orienteering trainings with the school.

He reports: "I am also a member of OK Linné, the biggest orienteering club in Sweden with many youths, elders and elite runners, the section of which I’m a part of right now. 

"From August to December I’m working for Swedish State Rail and am training as much as possible with the club. When I don’t run I spend my time writing, taking pictures for and updating the club's social media and web page.

"I have also set trainings for the club etc and drawn some urban maps in OCAD, so I am familiar with OCAD. 

"I like to talk to people to learn new things, and learn how to do things better and to share my own experiences. I also like being outdoors very much, and spend time in the forest even when I’m not running orienteering. :-)

"I'm really looking forward to coming to NSW and to experience orienteering your way!"

Clubs that wish to use Tuve for coaching or mapping should contact Jim Mackay.
