Looking for a new outdoors activity? Something that's family friendly and gets the kids outside, or that will give you a different type of exercise with a bit of mental challenge too? Want to explore new places? Then orienteering is for you!

Come along and try it with Interlopers Orienteering Club, on Saturday 1 March at beautiful Craigmillar Castle Park, anytime 1.30-2.30 (courses close at 3.30pm).

Orienteering is an adventure sport that exercises both body and mind. Using a map, the aim is to find the best way round a set of check-points. You choose whether to run or walk. Compete with others or do it as an individual challenge! It’s a lot of fun for all ages and abilities.

There’s something for everyone at this event, whether complete beginners or experienced competitors. We’re putting on a wide range of courses of different lengths and challenge, including shorter and easier options for children and families. There’s also a longer-easier course that’s ideal for adult newcomers who want a bit more distance for their run or walk. Entry is open to all.

Make an afternoon of it! In addition to enjoying some orienteering, kids can enjoy the amazing adventure playground afterwards. Or explore historic Craigmillar Castle If you’d rather relax over a cup of tea, visit the Bridgend Farmhouse café.

Everyone is very welcome! Club volunteers will be on hand to support newcomers.
Enter in advance (by midnight, Monday 24 February) to guarantee a map; there will be a limited number on a first-come-first-served basis on the day.
