MFR Training, Woodlands, Sunday 1 March

Get your 2026 orienteering season off to a great start with a beginners-intermediate bush
coaching day close to Melbourne Airport on Sunday 1st March 2026.

Are you looking to:
– move from moderate to hard courses?
– take your MelBushO, street or sprint experience to the bush?
– try orienteering from a rogaining, hiking or trail running background?
– get some coaching tips to improve your navigation?

Join us for a bush coaching morning at Woodlands on 1 March, aimed at newer orienteers, juniors, and anyone looking to build confidence on harder bush courses. The session will cover key skills such as attackpoints, aiming off, catching features and compass-work, with options ranging from a guided map walk for beginners to short, repeatable skill-based exercises. There will also be extension challenges and technical exercises for more experienced orienteers who want to sharpen their technique and decision-making in bush terrain.  With a 10am start for all we will be finished at lunchtime.

Bring your Sportident stick if you have one!!

Homestead Cafe afterwards to debrief and refuel.
