The River and Bay Series starts a shorter five-week season on Sunday, at Sir Joseph Banks Park in Botany.

This springtime series showcases the wonderful parks, reserves and bushland of Botany Bay and the Cooks River Valley.

There are 3 lines courses and a score course to choose from. You may start any time between 4pm-5pm. All events will suit newcomers as well as experienced orienteers.

Assembly for week one is near the oval, accessed via Tupia or Fremlin Streets. The course highlight is the animal sculptures dotted around the park (see pic left for an example).

See the series website for more details.

Our Central Coast club also kicks off its summer series on Sunday morning at lovely beachside Avoca.

Assembly is at Heazlett Park, ideally located for a swim afterwards. Starts are from 9.30-11am. It's a Sydney Summer Series-style 45-minute score course, plus a free short MINI course aimed at younger children.

Covid protocols apply at both events. See the series web page for more details.

And in Armidale, Northern Tablelands will be using the free MapRun app for their twilight series which gets underway on Wednesday (Nov 3) at the Arboretum picnic area.

Starts are from 5-6pm, with a 45-minute limit on course.
