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.

A walk in the light green

Details: Last Updated: Thursday, 30 May 2013 06:51

At Cattai National Park on Sunday, competitors in Metro League 3 were often reduced to a walk in the light green as they confronted vegetation that had grown substantially since our last visit there. The good hosts at WHO had warned us about this and, while winning times were pretty much spot on, most runners spent longer on the course than they would have anticipated.

After the ‘sprint’ nature of Round 2 at Callan Park, we were well and truly back in bush territory. Overgrown tracks and thicker pockets of bush demanded concentration, but such was the nature of the map and the wonderful courses set by Adrian White that if you navigated carefully then you were never really more than 100-200m from the target at any time.
