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.

Fabulous map, fantastic weather at State League #9

Mitchell Park Panorama

Glorious sunshine, an updated bush map of one of Sydney orienteers' favorite areas and some challenging courses by setter Carol Jacobson - what more could you ask from event organisers Garingal Orienteering Club for State League #9?

The Mitchell Park map recently updated by Dave Lotty, was a big improvement with Dave nailing the trickier parts of the map and presenting rock features in a way that made navigation fair and consistent. With the terrain mostly runnable there were also patches of fight, and steep slopes that tested the leg strength of the field.

Best on the courses:

Hard 1/2 Josh Blatchford 64:31, Hard 3/4 Stephen Craig 45:27, Hard 5 Anna Fitzgerald 63.28, Hard 6 Daniel Hill 55.18, Hard 7 Terry Bluett 53.22, Hard 8 Cath Chalmers 45.26, Very Easy Sophie Jones 10.45, Easy Jared McKenna 19.04, Moderate Georgia Jones 32.33
