Wed 16th Dec SSS9 - Broadmeadow

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!

Today's map was the flat area that is Boadmeadow/Hamilton South with the main feature being a black hole (the racecourse) in it's centre. This hole means that your planning is to go left, go right, a bit of both or bite the bullet and go right around.

Thanks to Mel for a challenging course and for arranging the public facilities - she was given the wrong keys.

See you all next week for our Christmas run at (hilly) Valentine.
