Discover the thrill of orienteering every Saturday as you explore Sydney’s hidden gems, from urban bushland to serene parks. Whether you're an experienced navigator or just curious about trying something new, this weekly series offers the perfect opportunity to get outdoors and challenge yourself. Choose your adventure: go solo for a personal challenge, team up with friends for a collaborative experience, or bring along family members for a relaxed outing through nature’s hidden corners. Each event features clear maps, beginner-friendly courses, and friendly guidance from experienced organizers who are happy to help you navigate the terrain. The Saturday Orienteering Series invites participants of all skill levels to enjoy gentle exploration at their own pace or fast-paced navigation if that's more your style. With SPORTident timing used across all courses—Warm Up (ideal for beginners), Short Line, Long Line, and Score—you can select a course that suits you best on the day. Entry fees are affordable with discounts available for club members using promo code "ONSW." Normal entry costs $18 for adults and $15 for school students, both offering a 15% discount to members. Late entries after midday Thursday incur an additional $2 fee. Join us at our meeting point (details TBC) on Saturdays between 9:30am and 11am. Bring your sense of adventure and comfortable activewear as you prepare to uncover Sydney’s lesser-known natural treasures through the art of orienteering. This event is a fantastic way to engage with nature, build navigation skills, and connect with like-minded individuals who share an appreciation for outdoor exploration in unique settings around Sydney.
