Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire Orienteering Club
Orienteering means maps, forests and adventure. It doesn't matter how young or old or fit you are. You go at your own pace - walk, jog or run - and choose your own routes between the red and white markers. You can go on your own, or with friends or family. If you like excitement, fresh air, and exploring the countryside -orienteering could be the sport for you - and it won't cost you a fortune!
Orienteering is a sport where competitors navigate their way between control points marked on a specially drawn map. The Courses vary in length from about 2km for beginners and children to over 12km for experienced adult orienteers. At any orienteering event there will be a range of courses suitable for everyone - newcomers and experts.
LEI are a small, friendly but very active Orienteering Club, operating in Leicestershire, Rutland & Northamptonshire. We run a regular program of orienteering events throughout the year. Larger roughly-monthly events usually take place on Sundays, but occasionally on Saturdays. We also run a very busy summer training league programme on weekday evenings, which is a great way to try out our sport. We also stage a Winter League series of events incorporating some mid-week mid-day events and some night events using torches and a New Years Day event to run off those excesses(about 7 events in total). There is always a social element after the event when help and advice is available.

Yorkshire
East Yorkshire Long Distance Walkers Association
The East Yorkshire Group of the Long Distance Walkers Association is one of the most active walking groups in the UK. Long distance walks (usually at least 12 miles and mostly 20 miles or more) are divided into social and challenge walks. Social walks are arranged for Wednesdays and weekends throughout the year.
The group has an acknowledged expertise in walking the Wolds and North Yorkshire Moors and directly runs three Challenge Walks with close involvement with three more each year. Social walks just give a venue (map and grid reference), time, distance and a leader’s name and anyone wishing to take part simply turns up and joins in. Challenge Walks cover a set course (invariably 20+ miles) and walkers are issued with a tally card at the start to be clipped at a series of checkpoints around the course.
University of Leeds Staff Walking Club
While one of our aims is to introduce newcomers to the University of Leeds to the joys of walking, our activities are open to anyone who may enjoy guided walks in beautiful surroundings. No previous experience is necessary and we cater for all degrees of fitness. Our walks vary from 6 to 16 miles, from gentle strolls to strenuous mountain circuits.
