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!

Wed 31st Mar Nighto - Eleebana

Event: Night Champs
Location: Eleebana
Weather: Unsettled, windy
Setter: Geoff Todkill
Rego: Cheryle Todkill
Start: Steven Todkill
Finish: Geoff Todkill
Competitors: 33

Unsettled weather and the looming Easter break conspired to keep numbers relatively low for a Newcastle event. Those that weren't there missed a fun run around Thomas H Halton Park on a course that saw us weave over the entire area.

Steven Todkill was triumphant and also the only male to beat a very fast Jenny Enderby.

Thanks to Geoff Todkill for the event but there were complaints that somehow he managed to have most of the controls the wrong way round for right handed punchers.
