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!

The fourth round of the Newcastle Orienteer of the Year (NOY) series was contested on the Gymea Gullies map north of Cooranbong on Sunday. This area is predominantly spur gully with enough vegetation to lessen visibility but not hinder progress through it too much.

Course setter Arthur Kingsland utilised his years of experience to set challenging but fair courses.

Our events continue to grow in popularity with the army now also turning up to utilise our courses for some navigational practice.
