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.

Worthy winners of Central Coast Summer Series

Welcome bannerCentral Coast has the enviable position of being close enough to both Sydney and Newcastle to draw competitors from both those centres and this was reflected in the winners of this year's series. Patrik Gunnarsson (Sydney, Big Foot) and Karen Blatchford (Newcastle) were the worthy winners of the series with perfect scores of 600 points for their best six races over the ten races held.

SHOO FinalsThe SHOO Saturday Series finished on 11 February with a romp around the Camden Showground.  Careful map reading was required to pick out the fastest routes through farming grasslands and the adjacent Equestion Centre, and this time it was Ian Jones and Corinne Fulford who showed the rest how to gather in the points on offer.

Newcastle Summer Series is over. On with the Park Series!

SSS17

The Newcastle Summer Series has run the length of its seventeen event calendar, finishing with a race in Mayfield.

With streets laid out in a standard grid, planner Andrew Morris had a challenging job to set the course.  'My aim was to offer as much route choice as possible. Often the quickest runners will take the same routes.  I wanted to have the top ten runners potentially all have different route choices.  For some controls that meant that I had to resort to doglegs but that was important to make it difficult to link controls in an obvious fashion.'
