Welcome to Big Foot Orienteers, formerly the planet's pinkest orienteering club.
Big Foot members are active in all forms of bush orienteering, from the local metro league (where we have two teams) through the Sydney and state leagues right up to national and world championships in both foot and mountain bike disciplines. We also have members who are active in other forms of orienteering - including rogaining and adventure races.
If you are interested in stepping up to the challenge or bush orienteering from Summer Series, or if you want to plan a Summer Series event yourself (score 100 points without training !) and you have a sense of humour*, please get in touch with us.
(* If you are going to run around the bush getting lost wearing bizarre clothing with more than a hint of pink then a sense of humour will be required.)
