Ciara Largey -Profile of an Elite Orienteer

How did you start?
I started orienteering age 15 (aah! 10 years ago!) when my best friend saw a poster in the school corridor. It was advertising a coaching course based at the Omagh leisure centre and run by Fermo club members. I don’t think I knew what orienteering was but I was willing to try it out. We went along each week, learning about the maps and simple navigation. There were several active families in the club who brought us to local events at weekends and occasionally the club hired a coach to travel further afield.
