WHAT COURSE SHALL I CHOOSE?

White - Beginner courses which are designed to follow large features like tracks or fences therefore guiding the competitor around the course. Good starting point to get familiar with following a map, understanding and reading the symbols on the map

Yellow – This is an extension on the white courses where controls will still be on prominent features but placed at decision points so that the competitor will need to make a decision on the direction to the next control.  Both courses mainly use compasses to get a direction of travel or orientate the map but can be done without.

Orange –courses have navigational risk that can be taken by the competitor, all controls will be placed on a feature and will generally have “stepping stones” or attack points to guide you into a control. Time can be saved by taking an aggressive route choice or minimise mistakes by choosing a safer route. These courses generally are the perfect way to practice the core orienteering and compass skills, before tackling a red course.

Red – Red courses are the most difficult where all the technical skills of an orienteer will be tested, compass work, contour reading and route choice. Some red courses can be shorter than an orange course but more technically difficult. Controls will be placed to test navigation so that the competitor needs to decide how they will approach a leg.
