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 5th Jan SSS11 - Maryland

SS11: Maryland

From first time course planner Shane Jenkins

Thanks for the great turn out for the first event back for the year and my very first event. The clues were well recieved except for one control which was a little out of place (3D) and one colour difference. Feedback was, on the whole, positive and I will put into place the lessons i have learnt from this this event into my Mountain Bike one in March.

Vetting/helping/fixing: Geoff Todkill
Set-up: Mick Kavur, Sam Howe and Kendall O'Connor
Start: Cheryl Todkill, Dennis Lyons and Viola O'Connor
