Welcome to Newcastle Orienteering Club

Orienteering is a competitive or non-competitive recreational activity in which participants use a detailed map (and usually a compass) to navigate between checkpoints (known as “controls”) along an unfamiliar course. If you like a mental and physical challenge and exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

Congratulations to the 2016 Night champions Alex Massey and Jenny Enderby.

Location:  Speers Point Park. Newly updated map.

Start times:  Starts after 7:30pm when it's dark enough (Course Closure at 9:10pm). Please choose your start time so that you can complete your chosen course by 9:10pm. You will need to bring your own torch and/or headtorch as it will be dark.

Setter:  Samantha Howe with vetter (and mapper) Geoff Todkill

Course:  Long (~4.5km) and Short (~2.5km). These are length via logical route choice around out of bounds areas. Competitors should choose a course that matches their ability and allows them to finish by course closure time.

Directions:  Turn into Speers Point Park from The Esplanade, Speers Point.

Facilities:  Toilets.

Note - Mozzies: Remember to bring your mossie repellent.

Note - SI: this is a Sport Ident (SI) event,  there is an SI unit attached to each control, so you will need to bring your SI stick. There are 20 or more controls on both courses, so people that only own a P-card will need to hire or purchase an SI stick for this event.
