Saturday Orienteering Series - Let's Go!
Saturday morning = bush adventures in term 3
Discover some of the best pockets of bushland and trails in northern Sydney as we explore parks and reserves this term.
Whether you’re a total pro or just want to try something new, this is for YOU.
This week we head to waterside parkland of Lane Cove River for a joint event with Garingal Orienteers which is part of the Lane Cove Festival. There's plenty of forest and trails to explore plus even a little off track on the harder courses.
You can race solo, team up with mates, or bring the fam for a chill group explore. Saturdays are all about soaking in the outdoors, diving into some nav. and just having a blast.
All you need? Comfy activewear and a little love for the outdoors. We’ll sort a map, a course, and even free tips to get you started. Easy, right? Beginners are totally welcome.
Hit "Register" to let us know you’re in—come join the fun! 🚶♂️🏃♀️🌿
