Orienteering

Potter - walk - run - compete. A brilliant way to fine tune your navigation skills.

We have 2 great orienteering courses. Our introductory course based in our centre grounds with spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean all around you. This is where you will learn the basic map and compass skills needed for the next stage!

Our other orienteering course is in Stowe Woods, a remote and challenging environment. With the lack of visibility from trees and a maze of paths and tracks this is where your navigation really gets put to the test. More complex skills are now learnt such as pacing distances and walking on bearings.

Orienteering locations

Stowe Woods
We are lucky to be the only Centre licensed by the Forestry Commission and National Trust to use this incredible 70 acres of wood. It heads inland from the beaches at Duckpool. With its fur and broad leaf cover it's an amazing setting for a day out in nature. Within these woods we also have sculpture & shelter building areas
