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 concluding event to the Park Tour, the final, was contested on Wednesday. This was held on a new map, (the 3rd in this four event series), of the Hunter Wetlands, another great asset for the club.

Winners were Steven Todkill and Jenny Enderby.

Thanks to Denis Lyons for producing the map and courses and co-ordinating with the Wetlands managment, whom we also offer our thanks to.

This series has proven very popular and we are hopeful that many of the newer competitors may try out some real orienteering in the upcoming bush events that commence this Sunday at Eraring.

Don't forget there are also 2 more Wednesday evening events...see the events page for details.
