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!

Regarding the few issues with house numbers I'll be making an appointment with an optometrist soon! or maybe a handwriting specialist as mine is terrible.

I look forward to seeing routes put into routegadget so I can see if my control options had the effect I was going for. Also really liked to see the reasonable approximation of a standard distribution of results (thats the graph i'm referring to - Yes i'm studying statistics).
