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.

Double-edged sword to SSS finale

A double-sided map was a novel way to finish another memorable season of the Sydney Summer Series, at West Pymble on Wednesday.

Bicentennial Park has long been used as a sprint venue or for birthday parties or kids' events - and it will soon be home to a permanent course in partnership with Kuring-gai Council.

This time it held 10 of the 30 controls - making for a superb off-road MINI course - while on the other side the new map of the surrounding suburb held the rest.

Afterwards there were beverages, bistro food and the presentations.

Graeme Hill (Legends Men, pictured left) took out the SSS Cup for most points across the 26 weeks with 2540.Click here for the Cup standings.

The SSS special award went to Richard Pattison from Bennelong Northside. Once the weekly results are published, Richard delivers his own full statistical analysis of each event. This has been a wonderful addition to Ross Barr's blog on proceedings.  

Once again a big thank you to all our course setters, helpers, results gurus, participants and generous hosts. Thanks to setters/mappers Amanda and Hamish Mackie, the bowling club, and the Big Foot crew. Photos of the evening are on our Facebook page.

Don't forget our Moonlight Madness monthly series in winter (Apr 17 at Greenwich is the first) to maintain your score course fix. Until October 2019...
