Permanent Orienteering Courses
Please note that all of our permanent orienteering courses were damaged in the storms of 2021-22 and are not currently available.
Can’t wait until the next event? Or would you like some more practice to climb up those results lists? Have a go at one of our semi-permanent courses in Deeside. Currently in 4 areas, there are suggested courses of short, medium and long at each. Controls will be moved once or twice a year so you can go back and have a different challenge. 3 of the courses are now also equipped with QR codes and you can use your mobile phone instead of a paper map.

MAROC trial “Early Entry System” at Redburn
Following the success of the Gramp system we ran the EEE system at Redburn on Sunday 27th March. This speeded up registration, and reduced computer data entry on the morning of the event.
You can help to make our events more efficient, and also get an official ranking
With increasing numbers attending all of our events we need to ensure our entry and registration systems are as slick and efficient as possible.
Bring your BOF numbers to events as it makes registration much easier and also allows you to get BOF ranking points at our level C events.

What is Orienteering
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 a unique orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.
