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!

SSS6 - Wed 19 Nov - Largs

Location: Ernie Jurd Oval, Largs Ave, Largs
Start Times: Starts are between 5pm and 6:30pm
Map: Largs - NEW MAP!
Setter: Lynda Hewson

Facilities: There is a new playground at the start (Largs Oval). There are toilets at Largs Oval but I think they will be locked. The nearest PUBLIC toilet which will be open that day until 7.30 pm is at Bolwarra Lookout, 181 Paterson Rd Bolwarra Heights. This is just off the southwest corner of the map so a very short drive from Largs Oval.

Parking: Ernie Jurd Oval, Largs Ave or Church St.

Important Note: Newcastle Orienteering recommends that all competitors wear bright clothing or reflective gear throughout the season to enable drivers to see you especially if you are running near dusk. We also wish to remind competitors that listening to an ipod (or similar) while on course can be a distraction that may cause you to not hear an emergency warning or similar and as such are not allowed during these events for your safety.
