Park Series 2017 Over

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 2017 Newcastle Park Tour (i.e. the 11th running of Newcastle's park orienteering series) has been run and won. See the articles below for information about, and results from, the 5 events that made up this year's tour.

We are already looking forward to the 2018 edition of the Tour which will should happen in February and March 2018. In the mean time you might like to think about helping out with the 2018 Tour. If you feel that you could set a course or maybe even draw a map then please contact the coordinator of the Park Series (i.e. This email address is being protected from spambots.
