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!

Course Setter’s Notes: The map used for this event has not yet been updated to the standard of the maps that we used in the 2019-20 Summer Street Series. This means that the map is not properly georeferenced and the scale varies slightly over the map. As a consequence, when you look in the Results for this event and view your route, the controls (which are properly georeferenced) don’t appear in the correct place on the map and your GPS track won’t necessarily follow the streets!!
