Welcome to our website.

We are a friendly and active group of families and individuals aged from five to fifty-plus. Beginners and new members are most welcome. If you are new to orienteering you can join NWO for as little as £1 . There are events suitable for all abilities where you can try orienteering. We will be pleased to provide information, advice and training.

There is usually a local event most weekends, organised by NWO or other clubs. Car sharing is available. Many of our members take part in a local league and several enjoy night orienteering. We also organise club trips to special events held over two or more days. NWO members take part in organising and running events.  We produce a regular newsletter  and send frequent email news items to keep everyone up to date. Browse this website and the links to find out more. If you live in the North Wiltshire area and want to give orienteering a try send us an email.
