Orienteering NSW - The Schey's the limit for MetrO League

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.

The Schey's the limit for MetrO League

Details: Last Updated: Wednesday, 09 September 2020 10:31

Sydney MetrO League Round 4 is on a new Garingal map at Scheyville near Windsor on Sunday.

Scheyville is one of the best orienteering areas close to Sydney. If you:

haven't done much bush orienteering, it is a great area to learn to read contours and use a compass.
are an old hand, it's mostly open, with enough detail to be interesting - just steer clear of the green.
lack fitness, there are no big hills and no rock.

There will be no Enter on Day and no allocated start times. Vulnerable people can start from 9.30-10am, everyone else from 10-11am.

Pre-entry closes 6pm Saturday, whether you are running in a team or casually.

Participants are asked to arrive, warm up, start when ready, cool down in their marked area and leave. Read the important notes in Eventor for who is allowed to participate and how the event will be conducted.

In welcome news, car parking fees do NOT apply for this event.

Mapper Carol Jacobson has also supplied a link to a history of the event site which makes for interesting reading.
