2012-13 Duo Series

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.

Classic "forest" orienteering for all great outdoors. Run or walk, compete against yourself or others, or a fun family outing. (Mar-Sept)

Navigate the suburbs. Run or walk to as many checkpoints as you can within a 45 minute time limit. How many points can you get? (Oct-Feb)

A great introduction to orienteering with fun courses in suburban parks & reserves. Also includes a night event. (Feb-Apr)

Navigate bush tracks & trails on your mountain bike. Bike Orienteering Summer Series offers 75 minute score & line+score events. (Oct-Mar)
