Orienteering is a technical sport. The navigational skills required to move through the terrain at speed whilst rapidly interpreting a pseudo-subjective 2D canvas loosely representing the complex 3D environment, under oxygen debt, take years to refine and master. Many don’t, and even if you do, it is for only a fleeting moment. Herein lies the challenge and beauty of this sport.

NOCturnal 2, Stoke:  "Thanks so much for a great event. The family loved it!"

MTBO, Sunday 4/5/2025: That was the best fun today, I can’t wait for another one. Great medium map: not too easy and not too hard. A great challenge with lots of great downhill and new trails to navigate. Excellent work NOC!

"Orienteering is a great teacher of resilience and finding your way in uncertain times. No day or race is ever perfect, or the same, the fun is in trying your best, learning from mistakes, and moving through nature."
