WEE 3

The WEE series is a great introduction if you are new to the sport, or a valuable training opportunity if you are already a dab hand. For those who thrive on competition we also have something for you, with the WEE series league table.

Coaching available – if you are new, don’t worry, there will be experienced coaches/officials at registration to welcome newcomers, explain the activity and give some coaching tips. If you feel you or your child would like more support than this, there may be some coaches available to ‘shadow’ you round the course. If you would like to avail of this, please get in touch HERE.

Limited Entry on the Day is available at non-member rates, depending on map availability. See here for Terms.

The Short Course is approximately 2km in length and has relatively simple navigation. This is really well suited to children and family groups who are out for an explore. It is also popular with seasoned orienteers who do not want too physical a run.
