2023 Hunter Valley Championships
- Last Updated: Sunday, 24 September 2023 09:21
2023 Hunter Valley Championships - Orienteering Fun for everyone this Sunday only 90 to 100 mins north of Sydney and the weather looks good!
As well as being the last event in the club’s Newcastle Orienteer of the Year series, this Sunday’s event at Kitchener (3km south of Cessnock, 22 minutes from the M1) is also the 2023 Hunter Valleys Championships. The “Kitchley Green” map is typical Lower Hunter spur-gully terrain which mapper and course setter Denis Lyons describes as having “good detail in the gullies and watercourses which run off the steeper section of the map”.
Seven courses are on offer - Very Easy (2.0km) , Easy (2.4km) , two Moderate (2.1km & 3.1km) and three Hard (3.2km, 5.5km & 7.1km) - with a range of championship age classes from 12 up to 80+.
An opportunity for some late season quality orienteering or a good warm up for those heading to WA for the Kambarang Carnival. Pre-entry before the day is preferred and will ensure a map for your chosen course but EOD will be available for all courses (subject to map availability).
