"Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body. The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on a unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time. It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, as you can run, walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace."

"Orienteering can take place anywhere from remote forest and countryside to urban parks and school playgrounds.  It’s a great sport for runners, joggers and walkers who want to improve their navigation kills or for anyone who loves the outdoors. Orienteering - The adventure sport for all!"

To get involved in the sport, turn up at our next event, (you will probably find the schools league events an appropriate standard), or contact us to find out about other events in the local event that would be appropriate. You don't have to join a club to compete in an event, but there are discounts if you regularly attend events and join a club.
