THE place to train

Providing the best terrain, maps and support possible for all your training, course and event needs, the National Orienteering Centre.

National Centre office hours

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.

Regular Orienteering Map Programme

Every month there are two areas that have controls hung in the forest that can be used for training.

Each map pack comprises a pre-printed map (on Pretex), control descriptions (pictorial) and an information sheet. More details…

Club/Squad Training

If you or your club would like to go training or you have a club weekend away coming up, why not get in touch and have your own tailor-made training break.
