For years, we have been trying to promote orienteering, though initiatives like National O-Day and Come-and-Try-It events.
Now, through the Family Fitness Festival, organised by Athletics Ireland, a means of promoting our sport has fallen into our laps.

Want to try orienteering? A special beginner's orienteering event will be held as part of the Athletics Ireland Family Fitness Festival in Farmleigh, just off the Phoenix Park on Sunday July 27 (opens 10.30am).

Event centre on the Inchavore river, at grid ref O 132 046 - "The Copse".

The results of the Carlingford event were posted to the web on Sunday night

Thanks to great weather and social parking you seemed to enjoy the outing and the orienteering which was fine, difficult or tough according to your personal point of view judging by the comments afterwards. Some found it to be all three!


Thank you for coming and our thanks also to those who made it happen both prior to and during the event including our Guest Controller, Alan Gartside, from LVO. May the weather be as benign the next time you go orienteering.
