Orienteering this weekend at Dalveen
A GRAZING property at Dalveen will be the venue for this Sunday's (8 March) orienteering event being conducted by the local Bullecourt Boulder Bounders Orienteering Club.
Organisers of the event, Doug and Anne Wilson from Warwick, said that they hoped for a good roll up on Sunday with five courses available for regular competitors as well as newcomers.
"The property combines open, runnable forest and grazing land with areas of scattered granite which makes for enjoyable running as well as a real navigation challenge," she said.
"We are hoping that at lot of our juniors ahead of the Darling Downs Regional Trails which will be held later this month."
Mrs Wilson said that local people who would like to try out orienteering were also most welcome to come along on Sunday.
"We will have short, easy courses for beginners and instruction available on the basic map reading and navigational skills.
"People of all ages can take up orienteering and they can walk, jog or run, depending on their level of fitness."
The event will take place at Brooklands Homestead, 9km north of Dalveen, off the Old Stanthorpe-Warwick Road, with starting times from 9 - 11am.
