The North West Rogaine Series takes place annually in winter, offering a unique opportunity for participants to engage in navigation-based outdoor activity.

Participants can visit various checkpoints, each assigned different point values, allowing for strategic route planning. This format not only accommodates both beginners and seasoned rogainers but also fosters a sense of community as participants often share tips and experiences.

The course will be clearly marked with orange and white orienteering signs, ensuring that navigation remains straightforward despite the wilderness setting.
