Come and Try It! Orienteering in Dunoon and at Benmore

Friends of Benmore Outdoor Centre is fundraising to build a pontoon at Lock Eck to improve access to canoes and kayaks for young people with mobility difficulties.  It’s a challenge: a challenge for some to have easy access at Lock Eck, a challenge to raise the funds and, now, a challenge for you to complete an orienteering course inside 30 minutes.  The fundraising is a tiny step towards helping all young people enjoy the outdoors and, potentially, contribute to a sustainable future.
