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!

The second event in the Newcastle Orienteer of the Year series with a range of seven courses to suit all orienteers, from 2km Very Easy up to 6.7km Hard. Beginners welcome.
