Orienteering Links
The following list of useful links covers clubs, associations and other aspects of orienteering.
Virtual Orienteering with MapRun
The Maprun LOC courses are normal orienteering courses except that there are no physical markings on the ground identifying the location of the control sites. Instead, you use the Maprun app on your phone. It will ‘beep’ at each control site.
The Family Project has set up a series of family beginner challenge course mapruns suitable for all.
