Orienteering NSW - Karen, Justin take out Central Coast summer series

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.

Newcastle members Karen Blatchford and Justin Stafford have taken out Central Coast's summer series after the tenth and final event at Bateau Bay on Sunday.

With their best six scores counting, Karen (595) held off Asya Khristosova (576), while Justin (593) only just pipped CC member Brenton Race (590) for the men's prize. Series winners on handicap were Elizabeth Bunn (NC) and Lachlan Harris (CC).

All the series results can be found here. Thank you to everyone who set, organised and supported the series.

And a reminder that entries close soon for the annual O'Shea 2-Days event on February 20-21.

It's the only pairs event on the ONSW calendar, with three races over 18 hours - Saturday afternoon, Saturday night and Sunday morning. This year we are in the Kincumber / East Gosford (new map) / Davistown area.

Enter via Eventor by February 18. We look forward to again seeing some of the zany outfits worn by participants on this always friendly weekend.
