Try Orienteering at Temple Newsam

The series is designed to cater for beginners of all ages. All children and young people can take part in the events. We also welcome adults who would like to try out the sport.

The event will be around the old golf course.

We will be located opposite the Temple Newsam Park South car park (near the running track). You should be able to see the Airienteers feather and green tent.

We will be ready to see you from 1:00 pm

When you arrive you will receive a “Dibber”, an electronic timing chip, given the opportunity to look at the map before you start and an AIRE coach will be on hand to assist to talk you through what to do and answer any questions. The course start will be adjacent. There you receive the map for your course, and you can start at intervals in your own time.

You can start at any time up to 2:30pm.

We will close the courses at 3pm.

For youngest competitors we provide three short (1km - 1.6km) courses. Do one and we tend to find a lot of people end up doing all 3!

For adult beginners, older children and those that have attended earlier events in the series there will be 2 medium and one longer course(s). The longer course would be ideal for someone who has been orienteering before and has a “Park Runner” type background.

No courses leave the park.
