The Map and Compass Sport Comes to New Hampshire's Capital This June!

The Up North Orienteers invite the public to come try orienteering at the Broken Ground in Concord on Sunday, June 15th.

The late spring, with its warmer temperatures and longer days, is a wonderful time to try the sport of orienteering. Orienteering is an easy to learn sport that involves navigating between points using a map and compass. Think of it as treasure hunting in the park if you like. Orienteering is appropriate for people of all ages and athletic abilities. You can participate individually or with friends and family.

Participants may register and start any time between 9:30 AM and 12 Noon. Experienced orienteers will be on hand at the Broken Ground to help newcomers learn the basics and try their first course.

Additional information, including directions to the assembly and parking areas, may be found at the Up North Orienteers web site, https://upnoor.org/event/broken-ground/ . Questions may be sent to the event organizer, Jim Arsenault, at jearsenaul@aol.com .
