It's been some time but the good news is we are back and looking forward to seeing you all again. So it is now time to root out your o-shoes and dust off your SI card and get ready for some wood and parkland adventures.

It's that time of year again when the evenings are long and bright and there's now more time to play outdoors and no better way to while away an evening that at a CorkO Summer Orienteering League event. We are back and will be coming to a forest or park near you real soon.

So why not get outdoors and join us for some evening orienteering. This year's summer evening league will be kicking off on TUESDAY MAY 31ST at CURRABINNY WOOD and the league will run every Tuesday until July 12th. Each week we will be orienteering in a different forest or park in and around Cork city and county.
