What if I get lost?
Parks are small with clear boundaries, and club volunteers are around. We never leave anyone who hasn’t returned to the finish.
Can I bring my child?
Of course. Walk together as a family, or choose a separate course suited to your child.
What if the weather is bad?
Orienteering happens in all weather; in severe conditions we postpone the day before and tell everyone registered.
What comes next?
If you like it, join the 6-week beginners’ course or club training. No obligation.
