Wrekin Orienteers has created and maintain several Permanent Orienteering courses (POCs) around Shropshire. This is a great way to introduce newcomers and young people to the sport, or a little challenge to a walk or run.
Maps and Instructions can be ordered by post for those sites indicated or bought at club training events where limited stocks are usually available. The other outlets listed usually only keep small stocks of map packs so you should contact them in advance if taking a group to check on availability.

- Sites sometimes go out of use for a few weeks or months for various reasons and we will endeavor to advise of updates via the website.
- As with all orienteering courses, Permanent Orienteering Courses are used entirely at your own responsibility.
- Map orders: Send a stamped SAE with a cheque payable to “wrekin orienteers” £ 1.50 per map, for bulk orders add £1.00 for P+P per 10 maps. Allow 10 days.
- Instead of paying by cheque, payment can be also made by enclosing 3 second class stamps per map pack ordered.
