Club Night – Monday 23rd May – Derwenthorpe/Osbaldwick
6.30pm Monday 23rd May. This week we’re back to sprint practice and someone has built some excellent terrain at Derwenthorpe just for orienteers with a mix of traffic-calmed residential blocks and lovely lakes and parkland. Meet 6.30pm at the small car park by Osbaldwick Scout Hut (signed from the junction of Osbaldwick Village and Derwent Way. Suitable for beginners and experienced orienteers.
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.
