Mapped Areas

NGOC holds events in all kinds of locations. The map above shows all the areas where we have current orienteering maps:

  • Throughout the Forest of Dean (purple)
  • In the woods and open commons of the Cotswolds (green)
  • In the towns and cities of Gloucestershire and its surroundings (yellow)

In grey you can see some local areas that have been mapped, and are in use, by our neighbouring clubs.

Finally the areas in red have been used for events in the past, but are now dormant: this is usually because the vegetation is now too thick, or we can no longer get permission to use the area.

We also hold fun low-key maprun events – these use simplified maps, so they’re easy to put on and cover an even wider set of areas.
