Wed 6th Jan SSS11 - Beresfield

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!

Thanks to Nigel and family for an enjoyable event on the relatively flat area that is Beresfield. Nigel would like to warn other setters of an error inducing possibility that led to a road being moved (on the map obviously) such that it appeared that it did not link up to the main road and access looked impossible. This was created accidentally when adjusting the map for control insertion. Be careful.
