Upcoming Event: NavDash 1, Gosnells

Sunday, 28 February 2021

With the MetrO series ending we can look forward to some NavDash Sprint events. For readers unfamiliar with NavDash Sprint format, here’s a word of explanation, since the name can be a little misleading. NavDash Sprint orienteering courses are relatively short, with intended winning times of 12–15 minutes. The maps are usually 1:4000 or 1:3000 scale, so very detailed.

There are lots of controls on the courses, commonly about one for each 100m of the course, so racing requires quick decision-making and sustained concentration. You can of course take your time, walk and enjoy the park.

Orienteering for Beginners

Ever thought about trying orienteering but not sure what to do?

We are running an introductory session for beginners at Whiteman Park, using our Anytime Orienteering Course there.  Come along for an afternoon of activities, on either Saturday 27 February  or Saturday 17 April, finishing with an afternoon tea each time. 

We can give you a taster in what orienteering is all about.  You will also receive a free pass to be guided around a moderate course, or to attend to any other of our orienteering events this year.

See the Event information on Facebook to book your place.
