  • Virtual 'O'

    With World Orienteering Day originally scheduled for next week Lockdown Orienteering has put together a series of virtual challenges - anyone can take part, but you do need to register before 13:00 on Tuesday 12th May.

    More locally, we've designed an armchair challenge for you for the following week as unfortunately all our annual Simon Peck Summer Series events have had to be cancelled, or at least postponed for some time. You can view the details here & the map & questions will be available from 29th May, with the answers published on Monday 1st June.

  • Suspension of Events

    Along with the governing bodies of other sports, British Orienteering has issued the following statement:

    Suspension of all orienteering activities

    It is with great sadness that we are now in a position where all orienteering activities in the UK have to be suspended with immediate effect.

    We are aware that the Coronavirus outbreak is a very fluid and rapidly changing situation. We will, therefore, continue to follow advice from Public Health England, World Health Organisation and both local and national governments on this matter and will keep the orienteering family updated as appropriate.
