 Here's a list of marked orienteering courses looked after by Orienteering Hutt Valley and our sister club Orienteering Wellington. They consist of the map, some instructions which may be on the map or separate such as with a camp warden, and permanent markers at the control sites. These may be specially inscribed posts, or plaques fixed to a fence or building or other distinctive landmark. The best (most recent) files are at the top. If you are interested in an area not on this list please look in Virtual courses or contact
