Ideal for people who enjoy adventure and the outdoors. Orienteering involves navigating around a set course using a map and compass as fast as possible and one of our activities is weekly training sessions to help you learn and improve. We also run our Monday Night Runs and trips for Orienteering, Trail Running and Fell Running and invite people of all abilities to join us.

In 2024/25 we ran fun and affordable trips across England & Wales (a highlight for many) and will do even more in 2025/26 including hosting our own events and collaborating with other universities. 

The club meets up regularly for:

Training (often Clifton Downs, Leigh Woods or UoB campus so not far from city, equipment provided) on wednesday afternoon

Monday Night runs at 7pm for approx 1hr with optional pub trip after

Socials (varied and mostly non-alcoholic)

Trips and competitions.

Our members cover the full range of ability and experience. Everyone is welcome!

We have two types of membership:

Free social membership lets you attend our Monday Night Runs and Socials! Remember, you can attend our introduction to orienteering training course for free in the first 4 weeks before having to buy our full membership to join our trainings and weekend events.

Full membership costs £15 for the year and gives you access to our training sessions, weekend events and 15% off at our sponsor Alpkit Bristol.
