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!

"Missing Link"

Event number three in the Newcastle Orienteer of the Year series with a range of seven courses to suit all orienteers, from 1.5km Very Easy up to 7.0km Hard. Beginners welcome.

"One of the most open/runnable bush areas that we have in Newcastle. Spur-gully with several significant watercourses with interesting side gullies. Undulating with only moderate climbs. Courses will have a "middle distance" feel, with a lot of controls, some short legs, changes of direction, loops and pivot controls".
