North West Orienteering Association

Orienteering is a challenge enough for some during the daylight hours but just because the sun goes down doesn't mean Orienteering has to stop too.

Clubs taking part in the League take it in turns to each host an event in their own area and this year LOC have also offered to host an event which means we have 6 great locations around the region to allow more of you to compete in the league or simply give it a go.

This year too we are happy to announce that the North West Night League is being sponsored by BrightBikeLights at www.Brightbikelights.com UK importers of the popular high power (900 lumen) LED head torch.

The North West Orienteering Association are using the prizes of two top-quality headlights donated by the sponsors to encourage more participation and to tempt more ‘newcomers’ to Night Orienteering. In typical orienteering fashion they have devised a novel scheme for the awards that rewards turnout as well as success, with an added element of chance thrown in for fun.

A slightly different system is in place for newcomers and lapsed night owls returning to the League, which is, like its daytime equivalent, open to orienteers from all regions and not just NWOA. 

 So if you fancy winning a top-notch headlight and getting some quality night orienteering in over the winter come and give it a go
