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.

WHO novice course a success

Details: Last Updated: Monday, 30 March 2015 09:34

WHO put on a terrific coaching day for bush novices at Fed Caterson Reserve in Castle Hill on Saturday.

Now that our summer series have finished and daylight saving is about to end, it's time we all turn our attention to traditional orienteering - line courses through the bush, requiring compass navigation.

That demands a whole new skill set and instructor Barry Hanlon had around 25 attendees lapping up his knowledge, including 10 students from Arden College (Epping) preparing for the state finals of the Hillary Challenge.

After a discussion about the 5 key skills, the novices set out on 1.7km course to put those skills into practice.

Thanks Barry and WHO for this great initiative - it's already booked in for next year.
