We are hoping to be able to run NI Colour Series 4 on 19th September at Portstewart Dunes.

Also in Portstewart, but this time using the town urban map, we are planning a MapRun activity on the 5th September.

There will be a MapRun training activity at St Columb’s Park this Saturday (11th July 2020). Start 10.30 at St Columb’s House.

If you wish to take part please email maprun@nwoc.info for details and to reserve a map.

I’m sure some of you are ready to get back out there and do some actual, real life orienteering!

With the relaxation of lock-down restrictions this is now possible.

This weekend LVO, Fermo and NWOC are re-starting orienteering with activities across the country, with the premiere of MapRunF.

We are having to temporarily replace physical controls with virtual ones using a new app called MapRunF (which you need to download onto your phone beforehand). Those of you who have done Sporteering before will have a good idea how this works, but MapRunF is simpler to use and has an even better user experience. After clicking Start – you can just put your phone in your pocket run off and not worry about it until after you finish – it automatically punches for you!
