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 on an unfamiliar course in bush terrain, parkland or urban areas.  

If you like a physical and mental challenge while exploring the outdoors, orienteering is the sport for you!

Sun 4th Oct Minor - Awaba

Despite it being the start of day light savings and a cloudy day, the club faithfuls who are not on the road competing, turned up to enjoy courses set by Colin Bailey. The rain held off for the 32 people who attempted the courses, with some ignoring the 45 minute limit to go for a longer run and collect all the points on offer.

Thanks to Colin Baily for setting the courses, Graeme Fowler for helping with the start/finish, and David Messenger, Denis Lyons, Nicole and Andrew Haigh, Mick Kuvar, Joy Guy and Tim Tew for collecting the controls.
