TRy oriEnteering

How do I get started?

The best way to try orienteering is to come out to a local event and try it. Newcomers are always welcome.  Because of Covid 19 restrictions you must preregister and only come at the specific time you signed up for.
 Dress for the weather, including good footwear ( e.g runners, trail or hiking shoes). No other previous experience or special equipment necessary. Events are great for both individuals and families, for people out for recreation, or those looking for some  challenge.
