First, don’t be afraid to come to one of our events and ask for advice! Nearly all of our events have a course that is suitable for newcomers (a few don’t, so please read the event details and if in doubt please contact us first), and we love having new people come along to try our great sport. Our Saturday Series events are particularly relaxed and perfect for first-time orienteers.
If you’re worried about needing lots of expensive specialist equipment – relax! You really don’t need a lot to begin with – have a look at our “What do I need?” page.
If we haven’t got a suitable event coming up, you may want to try out one of our Permanent Courses, which allow you to make up your own routes between the marker posts – as short or long, easy or hard as you like!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and ask via our contact form. See you soon!
