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!

Wet event at the Range?

Event: Training/minor
Location: Killingworth (The Range)
Organisation: The Orrs
Entries: 69
Weather: Overcast but not raining.

Well it was wet but it wasn't raining. Most of the moisture, and there was lots of it, was restricted to the ground in either puddles, waterholes or sticky mud.

A lot of people obviously decided it was going to be raining but those that turned out had a pretty good day of it, apart from the wet/lower parts of their body.

Thanks to the Orrs and all their helpers for a fun day.
Good job!
