Waterford Sports Partnership and Waterford Orienteers are hosting a ‘Come & Try’ Orienteering event in Dungarvan on Saturday 21st of April at 3pm

Orienteering is a sport that requires you to find your way from one point to another using only a map and your brains. Each course consists of a series of checkpoints that are marked out. Participants will be given a map with the locations of the checkpoints circled and must find these in the correct sequence. The aim is to complete the course as quickly as possible.

This is an event suitable for all the family and there will be two different courses on offer on the day to suit total beginners and more advanced orienteers.

Following the launch of the new permanent Orienteering Course at Kilbarry Nature  Park, Waterford Sports Partnership, Waterford City and County Council  and Waterford Orienteering Club (Wato) are delighted to announce that four maps are now available to download FREE here…

The orienteering course is open to all – families, individuals, clubs, uniformed groups and schools.

To tackle your chosen distance:
1. Download the map for your chosen distance (as well as the answer sheet for checking at the end);
2. Find the controls in the order shown on the map;
3. Complete the numbered code of the marker post in the corresponding box;
4. At the end of the Course, check your answers are correct
(by referring to the answer sheet);
5. Good luck and enjoy!
