South Wales Coaching Day 8th November 2025
There will be an Orienteering Foundation coaching day at Merthyr Mawr Warren on Saturday 8th November 2025 organised by Swansea Bay Orienteering Club (SBOC). Further details below. This is an excellent opportunity to practice your orienteering skills outside the pressure of an event, in fabulous technical orienteering terrain, and particularly for adults who often lack orienteering training opportunities. Clubs can also use it as a way to develop budding new coaches, under the supervision of a lead coach.
