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.

Sydney West Series has even experienced runners scratching their heads

Details: Last Updated: Friday, 06 July 2012 15:44

SSS West The Sydney West Series at Parramatta on Sunday began with runners doing a lot of careful study of the map, as planner Lyn Malmgron's course offered plenty of options. Runners were enticed to controls all over the area from the Cathedral to James Ruse Drive to the southernmost edge of the map. Even locals discovered parts of the town they didn’t know about.

The humidity was a challenge, too. A lovely sunny day after all the rain brought a tropical atmosphere. Only James McQuillan and Glenn Horrocks visited every control, but neither could manage it in under 45 minutes. Newcomer Dean Williamson surprised his fellow SHOO members by coming 7th overall; one to watch?
