Inverness Orienteering Club, or INVOC as we are better known, is the local orienteering club for the Inverness area and much of the rest of highland Scotland. If you are new to orienteering, our New to orienteering? page offers a starting point  to find out a bit more about the sport, and our About INVOC page tells you a little bit about the club.

Anagach, Grantown-on-Spey - Junior Cup Round 3: Sunday Sept 19th

Not strictly speaking our event, but organised by Alison, planned by Jon and on our area with a lot of our club members helping - so almost our event.  It went very smoothly - thanks to all the helpers from Alison.

 INVOC invites you to the latest iROMP (INVOC Regular Orienteering Mapping Programme) at Cnoc a Bhreacaich, near Dingwall. There are four courses courtesy of Laurence Cload: orange, light green, green and blue. It’s not an organised event– the controls have been laid out on the hill side, so just print a map and go run the courses in your own time. There is Maprun set up for the event (or will be shortly!) which you can use to compare your time to others or you can submit it via the following links. Maps were distributed in the INVOC weekly news email on 21 September. Other clubs can email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Remember if you go out, record your results on the google form or drop an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or put a message on the WhatsApp group so we know whether it is being used.
