Skipwith Common, YHOA SuperLeague
A brilliant orienteering area, with plenty of complex flat moorland, woodland, ditches, and marshes to navigate around, making it ever changing and always surprisingly challenging.
Get Involved
Club Night, Millthorpe School, Monday 6th October
Club Night orienteering training. 6.30pm Monday October 6th based at Millthorpe School. Beginners welcome – coaching available. We’re off to the forest again this week so you will definitely need your headlamp for the second part of the evening as most of the leaves are still on the trees (although the conkers are falling fast as I discovered last week; bruised head needs to go onto the risk assessment). Meet in the classroom with the
Walk, jog and run through Urban, Forest and Moorland areas. Find your way between waypoints with your map and compass. Compete against yourself as well as other Orienteers in this physical and mental challenge.
What is Orienteering?
A competitive outdoor sport which exercises both body and mind in a Covid-safe environment. You run your course as an individual, rarely seeing other competitors. Electronic recording of your time allows you to be ranked versus other runners, in the computerised results.
COVID-19
COVID-19 Current UK Government guidelines categorise Orienteering as ‘outdoor physical activity events’ which are not limited by the ‘rule of six’. We have met the necessary protocols and put measures in place at our events to reduce the risks from COVID-19 in our sport.
Who are we?
We’re the orienteering club covering York, Selby, Ryedale and Scarborough. The Club organises events in a wide range of areas, from moorland and forest in the North York Moors, to woodland in the Vale of York and also races in the parks and streets of York, Tadcaster and Scarborough.
