What is Orienteering

Posted in

Orienteering is an exciting, challenging sport. It involves competitive navigation using a map and compass - competitors choose their own way between control points. Most orienteering takes place in woodland or on open hillsides, but can also take place in school playgrounds and urban parks.

For beginners, we recommend one of our Saturday Events, or perhaps try one of our District Events (or maybe at one of the other local clubs), which will always have beginners courses and helpful advice from the club members.

The Committee

BKO Committee

The committee consists of the following members, who have regular meetings. Please volunteer to help at events without a committee member or organiser asking, as it makes their job so much easier.

Club Members

Posted in

In a short while, there will be a forum for club members on this web site, to discuss events, technical matters and social chatter.

If you want to take part in this (and it would be good if lots of us join, to make it worthwhile), you will need to register on the web site and log in to make comments.

I will put up details of how to do this early in the New Year, when the forum is in full operation.
