Training Camp Portugal 2009

Orienteering in Portugal
Competitions, trainings and vacations

After the World Championships for Veterans which took place in the Marinha Grande region in the first week of July, 2008, there are many new nice maps to train on.

On the 28th of February - 1st of March 2009 there will be a big international competition in Marinha Grande. WRE only 5 minutes from our accommodation

Surroundings

In the region of Leiria and Marinha Grande, there are many orienteering maps.

This is a central region in the country, at about half-way between Lisbon (130 Km) and Porto (180 Km), with excellent accessibility from any of these cities (A1 and A8 Highways).

Located near the Atlantic Ocean, this region has a fair variety of vegetation types, but the famous "Leiria's Pinewood Forest" is the predominating one, all along the seaside. Beach, forest, field and mountain: four possibilities of choice, associated to a very mild weather in the wintertime.

Orienteering maps and photos

 


The green area is where the training camp is situated.
WRE 1 is between 2nd and 5th of February and
WRE 2 is the 9th and 10th of February 2007.

Mostly, the type of terrain is the mediterranean one. However, there are as well orienteering maps in areas with some different characteristics. That's the case with the Juncal Map (located at about 10 Km from S. Pedro de Moel), where the 2002 Iberian Championship was held.

For a region with a 100 Km perimeter, there are about 50 Km2 represented in orienteering maps.
