Sun 6th June - Minor Dark Hill

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!

David and Ann Kitchener opened up their property to club members for an exciting dash around their "yard".

While normal Blue and Green courses were available the Orange and Red competitors got to try out a bush score event. Both were 45 minutes, with different maximum points available.

There was also a Map Memory course available for those brave enough to try it.

David is keen for everybody to plot their routegadget courses so he can see how people tackled the score course challenge.
