Learn about orienteering maps and navigation. Try this exciting sport where you can walk, jog or run as you please and find your way between checkpoints. Learn the basics in a few sessions in different Swindon Parks (Coate Water, Lydiard and The Lawns), try out your skills in a local wood (West Woods, Marlborough) and attend organised orienteering events. Comfortable clothing and footwear (eg trainers) for ease of movement and appropriate to weather are recommended. Costs are £1 pp for local sessions to cover cost of printing maps and materials. There are car park charges at Coate and at Lydiard. Approx. £9.50pp for occasional events externally organised. New members are very welcome - beginners sessions in Sept/Oct. and further help available in later sessions.
