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!

Location: RH Taylor Reserve (North East of Belmore Bridge), The Esplanade, Lorn. (Note: after crossing Belmore Bridge there is no right turn onto the Esplanade. Take the next right onto The Avenue, drive to the end then turn right onto The Esplanade).

Map: Lorn & Maitland - NEW MAP!

Important Note 1 : High traffic volume in a number of areas of map.

Read information on "Forbidden Routes" and "Pedestrian Crossings" displayed at the Start.

Important Note 2 : Snakes have been sighted along the either of the grassy edges of the River.

No controls have been placed in these areas. Children should be supervised if playing near the River.


Setter: David Messenger

Facilities: None.

Parking: The Esplanade.

Note The Esplanade is a one-way road and parking typically on right hand side (residential side).

If driving along this road and all parks are taken, turn left onto Belmore Bridge, turn left into High Street, and take first left into St Andrews Street and park in the public carpark. It is a short walk across the Belmore Bridge back to the start.

If arriving later it may be best to assume "The Esplanade" is full an use alternative parking on either side of "The Avenue" one street north.
