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:  King Park, Raymond Terrace

Start times:  Starts between 5pm - 6:30pm (Course Closure at 7:10pm). The early closure is to enable the setter to collect controls before it gets dark.  Finish after 7:10pm and you risk being disqualified for failing to finish the course in the allowed time. So please make sure you choose a start time that means you can finish your course by 7:10pm.
