Horsham District Council is pleased to announce that a new map is available for the permanent orienteering course at Southwater Country Park in Southwater, near Horsham.

The course is used by family groups, scouts, guides and sports clubs as a challenging activity to improve navigation, spatial awareness and fitness whilst having fun in a beautiful environment.

Maps are available to buy from Horsham District Council’s offices at Park House, North Street, Horsham, at a cost of £1 per map.

They will also be available soon at Southwater Country Park’s Visitor Centre and Horsham’s Visitor Information Centre in the Causeway in Horsham town centre.

The new map was officially launched at Southwater Country Park on Saturday 26 January, where Southdowns Orienteers also staged a separate four course orienteering event.

Permanent orienteering maps are also available for Horsham Park in Horsham (map last updated 2005) and Leechpool and Owlbeech Woods in Horsham (map last updated 2008).

Horsham District Council’s cabinet member for arts, heritage and leisure, Jonathan Chowen, said: “This challenging outdoor sport is a great, active past time that is fun for all the family.

“I’m pleased to see that the new map is now available for Southwater Country Park and hope orienteers, experts and beginners, across the Horsham District pick up a copy of the map and take a trip to the park once the weather improves!”

The council works in partnership with local clubs Southdowns Orienteers (www.southdowns-orienteers.org.uk) and Mole Valley Orienteers (www.mvoc.org). Both clubs provide the maps and put on regular local events whilst the Council maintains the markers.
