Something for all the family...
Royal Deeside 2025 will have five days of forest competition beginning on Sunday 27th July 2025 then continuing on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and ending on Friday 1st August.
As usual, the Central Organising Team is already working hard to ensure you enjoy a variety of terrain with something for everyone and a few new challenges. There will be competitive age-class courses, colour-coded courses and string courses for the young and the young at heart! The event centre will be based in Ballater and there will be rest day activities for those who need an orienteering-based activity on their day off. We are also planning a full social calendar with a ceilidh, quiz and whisky tasting already in the pipeline.
It is, however, a holiday based event and when not orienteering there are plenty of local attractions to keep you entertained. There are castles from Braemar in the west to Dunnottar on the coast, Lochnagar and many other Munros to climb, as well distilleries to visit, golf courses to play on, and wildlife to watch. There is lots to keep every member of the family entertained!
We look forward to welcoming you to Royal Deeside in 2025 for a week-long orienteering holiday.
