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.

NSW sharpens skills ahead of Australian Champs

Details: Last Updated: Tuesday, 18 September 2012 07:11

Nick Dent, Head coach NSW, led a training session in Belanglo this weekend for NSW orienteers, and particularly those heading off to the Australian Championships in Tasmania. Using an updated version of the new 'Beyond Rocklea' map, exercises were set focussing on compass work in vague terrain and the use of precise attack points in more detailed areas.

State Juniors were out in force to take advantage of this last training opportunity before the Australian Schools Championships, with JWOC representative and Senior Girl Michele Dawson, Senior boys Aidan Dawson, Lawrence Jones, Junior Boys Toby Wilson and Alex Kennedy and Junior Girls Melissa Annetts and Georgia Jones in the forest working hard.
