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.

Newcastle Summer Series is over. On with the Park Series!

SSS17

The Newcastle Summer Series has run the length of its seventeen event calendar, finishing with a race in Mayfield.

With streets laid out in a standard grid, planner Andrew Morris had a challenging job to set the course.  'My aim was to offer as much route choice as possible. Often the quickest runners will take the same routes.  I wanted to have the top ten runners potentially all have different route choices.  For some controls that meant that I had to resort to doglegs but that was important to make it difficult to link controls in an obvious fashion.'

SSS17 Winners

With the series at an end it was time for identifying champions.  Alex Massey was the Men's Open winner with Kim Van Netten winning the Women's Open competition, but these were not the only championships being contested.  The

Newcastle Summer Series also recognises winners for Series Attendence, Consistency, Time Management, a Handicap com

petition as well as successful Rookies.  This year's Rookie winners were Liam Gibson and Anastasia Suchowebka.  Particular mention must be made of Mick Kavur who won a special award for attending 100 consecutive events.

 

Newcastle now moves on its winter season of orienteering events, starting with the Park Series, the first event of which is at Stevenson Park on 22nd February.
