Foróige Evening Orienteering Adventure

What a fantastic evening of orienteering with Foróige group!

Members put their navigation skills that they learnt last week to the test as they completed their first Orienteering sprint course.

A huge well done to everyone who took part and embraced the challenge. Activities like orienteering help build confidence, communication, and problem-solving skills while having fun in nature.

Thank you to all the leaders and volunteers who helped make the evening a success. We’re already looking forward to the next week at Lough Lannagh!
