It is possible to travel to orienteering races by public transport – but only if you live in south-east England – living in the centre of London helps a lot too.
Here’s how I’ve got to all of my recent orienteering races:
| 13 May 07 | Lesnes Abbey Woods | C 15 | T | C 2 |
| 29 Apr 07 | Rewell Wood | C 15 | T | C 25 |
| 28 Apr 07 | Foots Cray Meadows | C 15 | T | C 5 |
| 22 Apr 07 | Wimbledon Common | C 2 | U | C 15 |
| 22 Apr 07 | Hainault Forest | C 2 | U | C 15 |
| 28 Jan 07 | Hawley and Hornley | C 25 | T | C 25 |
| 21 Jan 07 | Ashridge | C 40 | T | C 45 |
| 17 Dec 06 | Ashtead and Epsom Commons | C 25 | T | C 2 |
| 3 Dec 06 | Hindleap Warren | C 15 | T | C 40 |
Of course, I’m not including the events which I failed to get to as I could get there by public transport and had failed to get a lift, or had never got there due to late trains, missed connections, etc…
