Get Involved
Club night on the road, 1830, 8th July
Last session before a slightly longer summer break than usual… back in September. A new area as a special treat. Meet in Skipwith Village Main Street. This is not “Main Street” as you might picture it – no buildings! Park roadside by the village pond. Main Street is first right after the pub if coming from York. Bring a compass if you have one (we have spares).
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.
