The Up North Orienteers invite the public to come try orienteering at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown on Sunday, May 17th.
With New Hampshire in bloom, now is the perfect time to head outdoors and try the sport of orienteering. It's the fun recreational activity that is appropriate for people of all ages and athletic abilities. You can participate individually or with friends and family.
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 woods if you like.
Participants may register and start any time between 10 AM and 1 PM. Experienced orienteers will be on hand at Bear Brook to help newcomers learn the basics and get started on 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/bear-brook-allenstown-2/ . Questions may be sent to Jim Arsenault at jearsenault@gmail.com .
