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!

36th Annual Hunter Schools Orienteering Championships

This years Hunter Schools Orienteering Championships are to be held at Stanford Scrubs, near Pelaw Main on Monday 25th June, 2012. Competitors will do two courses. First, a course based on their age where you find all controls in order on this course. Later they do a course which is entered in divisions based on experience rather than age – this will be a score course where you find as many controls as you can within a time limit (40 minutes).

After 200m take a further left into Stanford Street and continue a approx 400 m, then turn left (East) into Hebburn Street and follow to the Parking. Or From Freemans Waterhole: Follow Leggetts Drive past Mulbring and continue to Pelaw Main. From the beginning of the houses travel a further 1.5 km and turn right (East) into Hebburn Street and follow to the Parking.
