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.

Loops and hills at Allambie Heights

Details: Last Updated: Wednesday, 11 July 2012 20:03

Sometimes you can be right in the middle of Sydney and yet be enjoying some glorious rock and bush trails. Bennelong Northside's Come and Try It event at Allambie Heights on the Manly Dam map on Sunday 6 July gave beginners a little taste of what bush orienteering can be like, and the more experienced a few challenges too. There were quite a few new faces at the event including some intrepid families with little ones who took on the easy course together. The Currie family from Garingal had a great outing with Ellen winning the Very Easy course and Duncan the Easy course. Duncan was only prevented from winning the Moderate Short by Bennelong's Michael Halmy and a bare 10 seconds. Big Foot runners Patrik Gunnarson and Stephen Craig took the top two places in the Moderate Long with Patrik's winning time of 40:55 leaving scorch marks in the forest.
