Event 3 Shelley Beach Results

Fine weather welcomed 27 entries to the Central Coast Navsport Series held at Bateau Bay this Sunday 14th December.

It is great to see new faces with people coming from as far away as Sydney and Newcastle.

Another great run by Josh Blatchford with Alex Massey not far behind.

With the finish only metres from the beach many runners took the opportunity to cool off in the surf.

Our next event will be held at Terrigal on the 11th January 2009.

Community Event at Kinkumber Mountain

The orienteering segment of the Community event planned by "The Open Space & Leisure Services Unit of Gosford Council" is on Saturday the 27th September.
It will be held on Kincumber Mountain between 2 & 5 pm There will be two event options available on the day:
1) A 1 hour time limit to visit controls, (for the newcomers).
2) Fastest time to visit all of the controls (for the competitive)

With both options you must be back by 5.30pm.

This is a community event to inform and show people what orienteering is about but for those who have orienteered before they can test their skills against the clock.

Directions: From the Kincumber shopping village on Avoca Drive, turn into Bungoona Road (next to the Shell garage) then turn left into Kincumber street, follow this to the top of Kincumber Mountain and look for the "Orienteering Sign". Kincumber street turns into Island View Drive, follow to the top.

Looking for Orienteering Events on the Central Coast

Central coast Orienteers have organised a number of events earlier in the season and have no events planned for the rest of the year, but we are looking at having an event in september / October and will keep you informed.

We do co-ordinate with the Newcastle club and attend their events which are relatively close and held every couple of weeks.
All their event information can be found on their website http://newcastle.nsw.orienteering.asn.au/
Courses are available for beginners and experienced orienteers.

The Central Coast Club holds a Sunday Summer Series between November and February which is run in the Central Coast suburbs using the parks and roads.
This is a great series where you can go out with a friend or compete against the clock for the best score.
More details about this later in the year.
