The Irish Orienteering Association have worked with the Sports Council to ensure that orienteering is one of the first sports  to get back on the road to full recovery. 
They have issued the following guidelines:
1. Keep  2 metres apart

Lockdown 2020 update

Greetings orienteers. I have been very quiet on this blog as I have been putting my time into Twitter and Facebook. The season faded out with a wimper after a successful season of urban events. A number of club members met on Zoom for an AGM to discuss a new Constitution, a change of club name to reflect expansion into the southeast, and what type of events we can organise in Lockdown mode. I will post shortly about the local options for orienteering over the Summer.
The pictures reflect a number of recent events in 2020.
