Introduction to New Members. |
|
Orienteering is a sport which involves using specially drawn
maps and sometimes a compass, to navigate around a pre-set course. You
can be competitive or you can simply enjoy the countryside and the
challenge of successfully navigating around a course.
The club has a regular programme of events, which always have
a range of courses available. Courses range in both length and
technical difficulty, so people of all ages and abilities are catered
for - it is an ideal family sport.
We welcome non-members at our events - you don't need any
special equipment, just wear shoes suitable for walking or running. At
the event, please ask if you need some help - there will be someone who
will advise on a suitable course and then help get you started.
