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.

SSS climbs into action for season 28

The Sydney Summer Series season ticket is the hottest item in town, with more than 80 sold as we stretch out the soreness from week 1 at a very hilly Gordon.

Vivien de Courcelles set a tough test, but a perfect one as it turns out - Big Foot Open Men's star Bart Vonhoff coming home with 590 points (just 10 shy of the maximum).

Three of the Masters Men tied on 570, while Gill Fowler (pictured here flying in to the finish right on darkness) scored 530 to be the best of the women, ahead of ACT O royalty Shannon Jones on 500.

There are plenty of regulars in SA for the Aus champs, so the 160 entries was an excellent roll-up to get season 28 underway.

A reminder that the season ticket is available to purchase until November 21 - and to add a little intrigue we're offering a bottle of wine or box of chocolates to the person who guesses the final number sold.

The season ticket offers a discount of up to 33%. No more rummaging around for loose change, no more annoying rego cards to fill in.

Next week we are on another steep map at Mosman, back in the usual daylight saving hours - and hopefully with a special guest to officially open the season.

Anyone starting after 6.30pm during October may wish to bring a headlamp or torch.
