New to Orienteering?

What is it? Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport that exercises both the mind and the body.  The aim is to navigate in sequence between control points marked on an unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.  It does not matter how old, young or fit you are, as you can run, walk or jog the course and progress at your own pace.

Orienteering can take place anywhere, from remote forest and countryside to urban parks and school playgrounds.  The most challenging orienteering takes place in areas which have demanding terrain and few paths.

How do you get involved? There are monthly local events in North Wales through the Autumn and Winter and weekly evening events from May to July.  For information on the next event check out the events page

What do you need?  To start orienteering all you need is a sense of adventure and a pair of trainers.  It's a great sport for runners, joggers and walkers who want to improve their navigation skills or for anyone who loves the outdoors.

How do I find out more?  Check out the British Orienteering website for more details, or why not come along to an event and discover for yourself.

What is a POC, and where are they?   A POC or Permanent Orienteering Course is another way to get a flavour of orienteering when it suits you.  There are a number of permanent courses in parks and forests throughout North Wales.  Once you have a map of the desired POC you can choose which control sites to visit in which order or you can follow the suggested courses.  Out in the forest you will find wooden posts with the orienteering flag marked on and an individual control code.  To find out more about permanent courses in North Wales click here.

Welsh Champs Mug Challenge

The challenge is to see how many different places the Welsh Champs mugs can make it to!

Hilary is off to a flying start presenting a mug to a slightly confused Patagonian earlier this year.

Get your mug out and about and photograph it in the weirdest and remote places you can.
