You may have noticed some small wooden posts as you have walked or jogged or even run a Park Run around Wythenshawe Park. These are part of our Permanent Orienteering Courses. There are quite a few. You just have to find them. You will need a map and a waterproof one can be bought here: https://gmoa.org.uk/borough_manchester/wythenshawe-park-orienteering/

If you like it there are plenty more permanent orienteering courses across Manchester. Start looking at https://gmoa.org.uk

If you have a smartphone you can download the free MapRunF App. It has five Wythenshawe courses from which to choose.  As a beginner you are probably best with the Yellow or Orange courses. They are shorter, and easier and the App can show you where you are as you navigate your way around. Lots of support on how to use the App and free PDF map down-loads can be found at https://navvies.org.uk/SummerSeries.php

If you like orienteering with the App there are plenty more MapRun courses across Manchester. Start looking at https://navvies.org.uk

Good luck!
