The North West Orienteering Association

The NWOA

The NWOA is responsible for orienteering in the counties of Cheshire, Cumbria, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Merseyside.

There is an orienteering event somewhere in the North West on most weekends and during the summer plenty of midweek evening events. Details of all of these events are given on club websites and are summarised on the Fixtures Page.

The NW Orienteering site is aimed at providing regional information, both to regular club members, orienteers from other regions and interested people from outside the sport. It provides routine information on club activities and links through to club sites where more comprehensive details on events etc. can be obtained.
