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!

A newer extenision to an existing map was used today for the Hunter Valley Champs. The area had a very recent reduction burn, and for the most part offered relatively unhindered movement, with some other areas offering low visibility.

A few Sydneysiders took the opportunity for some extra training for the upcoming major events to be run in Vic, ACT and the Masters in Sydney/Lithgow.

Alex Massey adds his name to an impressive lists of male "Champions" something he can look back at with pride. Tracy Marsh from Bigfoot took out the Women's championship with Karen Blatchford the "resident" champion. Note: a lot of the men in the medium red were upset Tracy had so easily beaten them until they were told her maiden name.
