Orienteering
Orienteering is an activity that combines running and walking with navigation. Participants use detailed maps to select routes and navigate through different terrain and visit control points in sequence. It’s a really great way to teach outdoor skills to all and you can sharpen your competitive streak when you get good at it too!
Coillte along with local clubs have created a number of permanent orienteering courses that range from short beginner loops to longer, more difficult routes. We provide ‘orienteering for schools’ along with a resource pack that encourages students to learn more about nature. These courses are a great way for teachers, parents and youth leaders to introduce orienteering to a new and younger audience.
Please see Coillte Outdoors for more details
Wheel-O
Wheel-O (Wheelchair-Orienteering) is a new concept to introduce visitors with limited mobility to orienteering, a sport which is growing in popularity each year. Wheel-O enables people with limited mobility to enjoy the sport which involves participants following a waymarked trail and identifying their location at control points along the way.
Please see Wheel-O Map for Lough Key
This is also a multi user trail so anybody can participate.
