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.

Purple Pen workshops on Nov 23

Details: Last Updated: Tuesday, 12 November 2019 18:09

ONSW will conduct two Purple Pen workshops in Sydney on Saturday November 23.

The workshops, to be held at KNOX Grammar, are free for members.

The advanced workshop from 12-1pm will be more of a forum where experienced PP users can swap tips and tricks and perhaps prepare a wishlist of program upgrades.

The beginner workshop from 1-4pm will be for people who wish to learn how to set courses and print maps and control descriptions using Purple Pen. It is free software with excellent support.

Participants are asked to email Jim Mackay (development @ onsw.asn.au) of their intention to attend.

Please note that Purple Pen is a Windows-based program and not all Mac users are able to use the converter program.

Attendees should bring a laptop.
