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.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.


KNOX boys tearing up MetrO League

The boys from Knox Grammar School are looking firm favourites to take out two Sydney Metro League titles after another dominant day at Galston on Sunday.

KNOX remain unbeaten in Divisions 3 and 5, and with a double header in the last round at Wianamatta seem assured of making the finals at least.

The more open venues for the first three rounds allowed the fast KNOX lads to really record some very quick times, and there were naturally questions as to how they would handle the technical challenges coming into the pointy end of the competition.

Galston answered that emphatically: in Division 3 Heath Wallace was eight minutes faster than his nearest rival (team-mate Jake Evans) and in Division 5 the first three placings went to KNOX runners - with Henry Shortis six minutes ahead of the field.

The terrain was mix of rock and bush of varying thickness and steepness, allowing for a good range of courses. 

Big Foot have reclaimed the ascendancy in Division after an uncharacteristically sluggish start, while the Garingal Frill Necks are unbeaten in Divison 2, and Big Foot look way too strong in Division 4.

Bennelong Northside and SHOO-IKO have three teams still in the mix and WHO one. 

All the results and tables are updated are on the ML web page.

Thanks to setter John Brayan, controller Carol Jacobson, organiser Ross Duker and the Garingal club.

Our next round is on Sunday August 18 at Wianamatta, with the NSW junior squad running the show.
