Orienteering is an exciting outdoor adventure sport which involves navigating around a course using a detailed map and sometimes a compass.
The aim is to navigate between a set of control points and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.
It does not matter how young, old or fit you are, as you can go at your own pace.
Orienteering Anytime
We have a number of locations where you can go orienteering at any time that suits you.
Permanent / Virtual courses that have physical marker posts and Virtual courses available.
Virtual Urban courses (using the MapRun app) have nothing visible but your phone beeps when you are in the right spot.
Events coming soon
Sat 4 May: Capstone Farm Country Park tbc
Sat 25 May: Jeskyns Community Woodland
All events have courses for beginners.
