Inverness Orienteering Club, or INVOC as we are better known, is the local orienteering club for the Inverness area and much of the rest of highland Scotland. If you are new to orienteering, our New to orienteering? page offers a starting point  to find out a bit more about the sport, and our About INVOC page tells you a little bit about the club.

 Merkinch Northern Night cup - Wed 13th December in Inverness.
There was a good turnout on a pretty cold night for a brand new map with two contrasting halves: parkland & dense woods within the Merkinch Local Nature Reserve, leading onto a dense network of alleyways, fences, walls & dead ends in the exciting urban terrain of Merkinch & South Kessock.
 
There was an issue with one control, which featured on both Novice and Short courses, temporarily going missing but adjustments were made to times of those affected.
