Providing the best terrain, maps and support possible for all your training, course and event needs, the National Orienteering Centre.
As you’d expect with a small office dedicated to orienteering, we don’t spend a lot of time actually in the office. There’s usually someone there for a while on Tuesdays and Thursdays, other days as well but less predictably. We respond as promptly as possible to e-mails and to messages left at the office or on the mobile number you’ll get if you call the office when no-one’s there.
Every month there are two areas that have controls hung in the forest that can be used for training.
