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 along an unfamiliar course through bush terrain, parkland or urban areas.  

If you like a physical and mental challenge while exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

Sun 3rd April NOY1 - Kitchener

NOY1 -Kitchener

A sunny warm morning greeted competitors at our first competition event in the 2011 season.
(I believe it was wet for those that travelled to the ACT champs weekend)

This is a fantastic map, a mix of open to thicker vegetation on undulating spurs with some complex erosion gully features.

Alex Massey took out the top class pushing veteran Rob Vincent into second place. The Raywood family had a great day with Duncan taking out the Medium Red and his wife, Anna the Short red.

Thanks to all that helped especially Stuart Kurtz for setting duties, his first at NOY level.
