The NWOA is responsible for orienteering in the counties of Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside.

There is usually an orienteering event somewhere in the North West on most weekends and during the summer plenty of midweek evening events too. Details of all of these events can be found on club websites own fixtures pages or you can find details of events across the country by checking the BOF (British Orienteering Federation) website here.

This NW Orienteering site is aimed at providing regional information, both to regular club members, orienteers from other regions and interested people from outside the sport. It provides routine information on club activities and links through to club sites where more comprehensive details on events etc. can be obtained.
