What is Orienteering?
Orienteering is a challenging outdoor adventure sport. The aim is to navigate between control points marked on an orienteering map and decide the best route to complete the course in the quickest time.
It does not matter how young, old or fit you are as you can choose the course that's right for you and run, jog or walk it at your own pace. It is excellent for adults wanting to shape up, add some excitement and mental challenge to their running and meet new friends. It is also ideal for families as everyone can take part at the level that's right for them and it allows children to develop independence, confidence and decision making skills.

New British Orienteering Ranking List Launched
British Orienteering maintains a ranking list of orienteers, based on results from ranking events. The new ranking system includes everyone in a single list, which can then be filtered (by age class, gender, and by club). The list also shows the number of positions you have moved up, or down, since the previous week. Here's a ranking list of SYO members.
