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!

                   2024 Hunter Valley Championships

 
This year's Hunter Valley Championships will be held on a new map, "North Neath", north of Neath (between Abermain & Cessnock). The event format and available courses are the same seven as normally on offer at an NOY event, from 1.6 km Very Easy up to 6.7 km Hard, but entries are by age class instead of course (see the Age/Course/Class matrix in the event information). Newcomers welcome.

   Nbushewcastle results from the NSW Middle & Long Champs

  The weekend of 7/8 September saw around 220 orienteers compete in   the NSW Middle & Long Distance Championships at Clandulla State Forest, south of Kandos. The area, originally mapped for the 2009 World Masters Championships, featured complex sandstone rock and steep spur gully terrain providing both technical orienteering and a tough physical challenge. Newcastle had twenty three club members make the podium on one or both days, including fourteen firsts in the A classes.

Newcastle’s state champions in Saturday’s Middle Distance A classes were  Hayley Jenkins (W10A), Isobel Newton (W12A), Presley Scouller-Evans (M12A), Samantha Howe (W45A), Martina Craig (W50A), Jennifer Enderby (W55A) & Stephen Craig (M55A ).
