Central Edinburgh orienteering sessions on a Thursday lunchtime have returned to the Meadows following a break while the World Sprint Championships were staged in the city.

The events, with start times between 12 and 1.30, are aimed at newcomers and organisers hope some will have been inspired by the recent world class event on their doorstep.

Organisers also promise access to brand new city centre maps, something unavailable to the orienteer for the past six years.

Visit scottish-orienteering.org for further details.

The lunchtime orienteering sessions are based on The Meadows
