White Rose Weekend has been UK’s leading orienteering holiday weekend for 40 years, providing orienteering races in North York Moors forests and dales almost every August since 1972 (two years were missed!)
In the 80’s and 90’s upwards of 2000 orienteers came to this annual Yorkshire event, but numbers declined in the last ten years as many other successful orienteering holiday events, both in UK and abroad became available.

In the last six years, the White Rose team has tried hard to build on the weekend’s main two events by offering a very wide range of other orienteering-related activities. At the same time maximising the quality of the overall weekend with an attractive campsite and family-friendly facilities for all.
2012 marks a landmark for White Rose Weekend, for Eborienteers and for its regular participants as the weekend celebrates its 40th (ruby?) anniversary.
We plan to celebrate this occasion in various ways and will have merchandise available including shirts, caps and beanie hats. Not mugs though – they have to be worked for!
