About
Welcome to Orienteering Edinburgh
Orienteering Edinburgh provides a weekly opportunity to escape your desk and get outside and active over lunchtime. It is suitable for newcomers and located centrally so is easy to get to/from within a lunch hour.
Why try orienteering?
People love the challenge, variety and inclusiveness – orienteering events feature courses for all abilities from beginners to experts and age classes from toddlers right up to over 85s. Orienteering engages both the mind and body, enhancing problem-solving skills and spatial awareness. Beyond its physical and mental benefits, orienteering is a social activity and is a great way to meet new people and get to know friends or colleagues better. Above all, orienteering is fun and a great way of exploring new places.
How can I start orienteering in Edinburgh?
A good place to start is the Orienteering Edinburgh Event Series. This is a great way to get outside and active during your working day. We plan to continue running Orienteering Edinburgh event series on a regular basis leading up to and post the World Orienteering Championships which are taking place in Edinburgh, July 2024.
