Welcome to Orienteering NSW

Orienteering is a sport that challenges both the body and the mind. It's also loads of fun!

The aim is to use a special orienteering map to navigate your way around a course and visit marked check points along the way. You choose a course that suits your age and experience and proceed at your own pace: walk, jog or run. It is a race but you decide if you want to just race yourself or be the next world champion! The course may take you through urban areas, parks, schools, farmland or forests.

Events are conducted weekly across NSW and beginners are welcome at all events.

Other events require pre-entry and for that you need to know about (and register with) Eventor - read the Eventor FAQ.

Mapping workshop in Sydney Aug 29-30

Details: Last Updated: Wednesday, 13 August 2014 15:37

This is a reminder that ONSW will be conducting a mapping workshop in Sydney on August 29-30.

Alex Tarr, one of Australia's leading mappers, heads an impressive list of presenters. This is the course to attend if you wish to learn how to map an area, and if you wish to take your mapping to the next level.

The workshop will concentrate on work in the field. Emphasis will be on fieldwork with concentration on accuracy, interpretation and legibility. Some knowledge of OCAD will be presumed.

Background reading: Hanny Alston’s excellent dissection of a course in the December 2013 Australian Orienteer - HannysLongRace-AO-Dec2013

Friday night will be at Sports House (6a Figtree Drive, SOP) access from the carpark and Saturday at Mitchell Park.

See the attached flyer for more info.
