Orienteering is an exciting adventure sport suitable for all ages and fitness levels. It combines map reading and running. Competitors have to find their way between a series of checkpoints, called controls, as quickly as possible. There’s no set route between the controls, so you have to decide which way to go and then find your way there without getting lost.
We offer opportunities to go orienteering at anytime that it is convenient to you.
Permanent courses that have marker posts*, Virtual courses have nothing visible but your phone beeps when you are in the right spot using the Maprun app, and postbox orienteering courses.
* Under review see Home Page information.
During July 2025 we are organising 5 Wednesday morning Orienteering Opportunities as listed
Tuesday 3rd June 2025
Work with Douglas Primary, St.Paul's (Whiteinch) and Muirhouse Primary now deferred until new school term.
Boclair Academy project now progressing with installation happening soon.
Following a full review, there are no current plans to either repair or extend the network of courses. A lack of support/interest to refund the necessary repairs added to the real difficulty of how to make the maps accessible to the general public have influenced this decision.
