Orienteering
There is now a permanent orienteering course at Golden Hill Country Park. Kindly put together by Wight O the Island’s orienteering group, this has 20+ permanent marker posts, each showing a unique number and identifying letters. These are set out across the site, some are on paths and others are more difficult to find. Select your own route and visit as many controls as you wish.
The permanent orienteering courses aren’t just used by experienced orienteering as training runs. Beginners find them a useful way to perfect and hone their navigation skills. Some will use the courses to make a walk more interesting and discover areas they might not have visited.
A map and instructions can be downloaded from this page and are also available in Freshwater at West Wight Sports Centre.
