Maps
Here are the directions to orienteering locations (Maps) used by the Hamilton Orienteering Club. However, in some cases there are several possible starting places per Map (particularly town maps). Of course, being an Orienteering club, we also have a map of the maps (that are outside of Hamilton)!
