2026 ORIENTEERING CALENDAR COMING SHORTLY - Watch This Space !
Next season is going to be a hum-dinger with at least two events per month being plannned, including short distance and bush races going into the calendar. Something for everyone from complete novices to the racing dogs ! The focus will be on giving plenty of opportunities for practice and honing skills.
NEW TO THE SPORT ?.....NO PROBLEM !
Orienteering is an easily acquired skill and is learnt very quickly at your first event. There is always an Instructor on hand to teach the basics - taking a few minutes of your time before you head of on your own (or in a group) to find your first set of check points. No special equipment or past knowledge are necessary - just the specially prepared map you will receive at Registration. The sport is ideally suited to families and even young children who excitedly enjoy the 'search' ! Sign up for the next event - Details coming soon.

EXCITING ORIENTEERING
Orienteering is an outdoor adventure activity, which involves finding your way around a course in the terrain using a detailed map and some common sense.
Experience the excitement of finding control markers in the middle of forests, up hills, down valleys and along rivers.
The activity can be enjoyed by adults and children - old and young - fit or unfit. As you set your own pace walking or running - it is ideal recreation for individuals or groups. Families are welcome to try Orienteering, going round the course together in a group.
