Hi guys I'm 28yo and keen to get into orienteering. I go hiking fairly often but I'm super keen to try orienteering now too. I have no equipment but happy to buy any necessary gear. I'm available most weekends and some weeknights.

About Orienteering in Australia
Orienteering is a navigation sport in which participants use a map and compass to navigate between checkpoints across varied terrain as quickly as possible. It combines the physical demands of cross-country running with intellectual problem-solving, making it uniquely engaging.
Getting Started
Orienteering Australia affiliated clubs run beginner events with simplified maps and short courses. No specialist equipment is required to start — comfortable trail shoes and willingness to explore are enough. Clubs welcome participants of all ages and fitness levels.
