Come and Try Orienteering
16 September 2023 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm
Come and try orienteering, a navigation sport suitable for 8-80+ year-olds.
Orienteering combines a love of the outdoors with the challenge of finding your way with a map and compass. Orienteering caters to all fitness levels – from casual walker to the elite athlete. You can participate individually or in a group.
Orienteering is an enjoyable outdoor family activity, where kids can lead their parents on an ‘adventure’.
Don’t worry if you have never read a map or used a compass – the basic skills are easily learnt and an experienced orienteer will be on hand to assist.
There will be a number of courses to choose from, 1 km – 6 km, for beginner and young children to superfit adults.
You can start anytime between 9:30am and 11:00am and most participants will complete the course within an hour.
When: Saturday 16 September, 9:30am – 12:00pm
Where: Blackman Park playground, Lloyd Rees Drive,

It’s perfect for kids to get out and explore the bush round Blackman (lots of the kids at LCPS have orienteering as part of their lessons), with several courses available to suit all ages and abilities, and you can run (or walk) as a group.
