Saturday Morning Training Events

Every Saturday during the daylight saving period a bunch of us get together at 10am for a morning walk/run and then meet up at a nearby cafe for coffee and cake. 

It's a free, low-key social activity with an optional one hour exercise - a great way to start the weekend! Scroll down for more details - or enter your email address below to subscribe to this newsletter.

Tell me more....

25-30 regular orienteers take part every Saturday; it's a great way of getting to know other orienteers. The courses use maps similar to streetO but generally have more controls - closer together to provide entertainment for those that only want to do a gentle walk or run. These events are a great way of learning how to set a course - if you've never done this, talk to us. This is a stress-free approach to learning a new skill.

A Walk in the Park

Keeping active is a key contributor to quality of life - as we get older we realise that the old mantra "use it or lose it" is so very true.

Walk with the kids

Let your kids or grandkids know that you enjoy a walk and getting outdoors - particularly if it's with them.

Cardio Fitness

Walk or run briskly. The heart beats faster, the body adapts to the exercise and gets stronger. Regular exercise makes you stronger - both physically and mentally.

Take part with friends

Latest research shows that social engagement is critical to mental acuity. Reduce the risk by exercising with friends; be interested in the lives of others.

Treat yourself

You've earned it! Most of our events are located near a cafe that can cope with the arrival of 20-25 orienteers. We book ahead - they appreciate the business - we appreciate the coffee and cake.

Learn to Read Maps

Most of us can already do this - and love the challenge of picking the best route for ourselves. In this age of increasing dependence on technology - spatial awareness skills will become increasingly important.
