Saturday Orienteering Series

Balgowlah Boys’ Northern Beaches Secondary College event


🎯 Ready to level up your weekend?
Whether you're a seasoned speedster or simply keen to try something new, Saturday Orienteering Series is calling.

  • Or bring the fam for a relaxed group adventure.

💡 No experience? No worries.
We’ve got maps, beginner-friendly courses, and free tips to get you started. Just rock up in comfy activewear and bring your curiosity. That’s it.

🌿 Saturdays = fresh air, fun vibes, and a bit of sneaky navigation.
Come hang out, get moving, and discover something new.
