There is an extensive network of vehicle and motor bike tracks. Courses are designed to link control sites by using appropriate track options, and accurate compass work. Theme: Plan to use strong attack points. There is some SPIKEY vegetation., Stanford Merthyr

West Sydney Orienteering Series 2023/2024

Season 13 - Sunday mornings, December 2023 and February 2024

This series showcases the wonderful parks, reserves and bushland of the Hills District and western Sydney.

It mixes exercise - at whatever pace you like (walk, jog or run) - with a simple navigational challenge. If you can read a street directory you can do it! It's a great way to explore a suburb. You can go solo, with a buddy or in a small group (friends or family members).

Beginners are most welcome and will receive basic instruction.

Start times: you may start any time between 9.30-11am. 

All events will suit newcomers as well as experienced orienteers.

Please ensure you return by 12pm as we start packing up then.

Format: you have the choice of 4 courses:

1. Long line - up to 6km - minimise streets.

2. Medium line - up to 4km - no street crossings.

3. Short line - up to 2km - mainly for juniors.

4. Score course - get as many controls as you an in any order in 45 minutes.
