Thanks to everyone who took part in the Gribdale NiteNav
tonight on a cold, but clear night. Looking on Strava there
were quite a few different routes, which is great as I
didn't want a train of runners following each other. The
pond seemed to cause a proble, which is strange, as that
pond has been used quite a few times over the years. Also,
the route around controls 6,7 & 8 caused such merriment in
the pub afterwards, especially Wai who ended up in the same
place after using some mountain bike tracks that are on the
ground but not on the map. There are so many now that it's
impossible to mark them all up. At least there was no
contoversy about the controls being in the wrong position.
This time I checked, double checked and even triple checked
everything!. Thanks, Mark. |

A lovely night with absolutely no snow at all was a bit of a
surprise after Storm Arwen. 10 competitors started and they
all came back with no complaints at all which was good. As
expected Ian got round the quickest, 12 minutes ahead of
Vince with Wai third a further 6 mins back. Special mention
to Dave T who was absolutely knackered at the finish having
pushed himself hard to break 2 hours - which he achieved in
style and finished fourth.
Having run them both I do not think there was much
difference between the clockwise and anti clockwise - just
that a two or three controls were a little easier or harder
depending on which direction that you approached them.
If anyone wants a copy of the map just let me know and I can
email one to them, Cheers David. |

I tried to make
it as awkward as possible to get a decent circuit and it
worked a treat with plenty of different route choice.
Hopefully the compass had to come out for most people as a
couple of the CP's didn't have much of a handrail. The pond
on top of Hasty Bank was a new one to me, I hadn't known of
it until I went on Google Earth and found it. The sheepfold
has been used many years ago but it's a little challenge
with it being off the CW and unusually not marked on the OS
map. There wasn’t much time spent planning and I set it out
on the night of the event and discovered a lot more mud than
expected and with the recent felling the Jet Miners path is
well chewed up making for heavy going depending on route
choice and luck. Dave A. a flew round which I was pleased
about because I thought I may have over egged the
difficulty. Next home was Wai opting for the deepest mud he
could find to make it more challenging, followed by Vince
using his local knowledge and realising it was a different
path to the one he wanted to be on adding a few extra miles
on. Mark was next who isn’t running but did (a little bit)
as there was a race on! Not far behind was Dave T. having a
brilliant run, being very confident with his ability to
straight line a few tricky CP’s that could have been very
tricky in the mist. The three wise men followed the stars
and took the most direct and dangerous routes they could
think of, maybe influenced by Bref (no knees) O'Rourke but
he did have two sticks for safety. Getting there monies
worth was Bill and Steve, with Bill having the additional
fun of having a quicker than he wanted decent of the
landslide. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and visited
small parts of the area they hadn’t been to before, Thanks,
Ian.

A cold clear mid January night and the Smelly’s are again
out running a night navigating course. When setting out the
route, being aware that proper winter weather could be
expected, I tried to keep most of the route to decent
tracks. It seemed to have worked. Everyone enjoyed the
course and located all 10 control points. Although, control
point no. 6, seemed to have caused some head scratching. It
appears that there is more than 1 group of exposed rocks, in
the area - well, we have to have some fun. Especially Dave
T, when on his return, it was obvious that he took the time
to lay down in the mud, somewhere on route.
Congratulations to Dave A, on winning this event, finishing
under the hour. Vince came in a close 2nd place and just 10
secs ahead of Ian in 3rd place. 4th and 5th places had only
2mins gaps between them. So it was a closely contested run.
No pressure?
Thanks to everyone who participated and made the event
worthwhile, and well done to everyone.
Finally, I wish to give thanks to Len, who offered to
collect the control points for me, Mick. |

When planning a NiteNav for the end of January you have to
factor in the likelihood of bad weather. So I kept the route
straight forward and not too long. I didn’t think that folks
would appreciate a hard technical route in cold driving rain
or worse. As it turned out it was a fine, clear and cold
just about perfect condition. When I’d put the controls out
earlier in the day it had been thick clag up in the woods
and over the top. On the night 10 Smellies took part with
Vince finishing in first place. Well done to all who took
part and a big thank you for all the positive feedback,
Trevor. |

A really good turn out of 15 for the Cod Beck NiteNav, the
largest of the winter series. The weather window proved to
be pretty damn good with little wind and almost a full moon
with only a thin cloud cover. In fact better than earlier
that evening when Yvette, my beautiful assistant (aka Debbie
McGee) put out the controls. With several Smellys nursing
injuries everything was up for grabs & the top athletes were
observed warming up. A very close finish; the first three
back within 2 minutes, that’s a photo finish for Smelly
NiteNavs. Listening to the banter afterwards, it would
appear the course offered plenty of interesting route
options. I believe one competitor went swimming, another
took a plodge on a direct line to the finish. Whilst a few
were adventurous enough to throw caution to the wind & take
a direct line across the moor, stream Junction to the gate.
Gold went to Dave A in just 15 seconds over the hour, shame
he struggled a bit at the spoil heaps. Silver was claimed by
Graham 43 seconds later, in bronze position came Ian, I
suspect still nursing an injury. Thank you to everyone for
supporting the event, to Bob & Len for collecting the
controls on Wednesday & my admin. assistant for recording
the times, Dave T. |

When Steve and I recce'd the route we had
initially planned to take the NiteNavvers up on top, out on
to the moor, but there were very strong winds so we took the
'soft' option and stayed in the woods, around Ingleby
Plantation. When 'mooching' around, Steve climbed into the
trees where he thought there was a small quarry only to
discover a huge rock, at least 5m high. How lucky was that,
and a handrail too! We used a couple of 'old favourite'
controls and finally ended up with seven in total and almost
5 miles in distance. Not bad for a two-hour mooch. We
changed the formula from the traditional 'Norwegian' style
to that similar to the LAMM/KIMM whereby there were twice as
many controls marked on the map with only seven actually
'live'. The clue sheet provided descriptions and grid
references to the live controls and each had a question that
had to be answered. The reason for the change was that we
had controls and/or clues go missing which meant that the
course became fairly useless unless you were fortunate
enough to stumble across any remaining clues that you'd
guessed may be correct. After initial explanations to the
competitors all became clear and so off they went, after a
'well spotted' (by Bob) grid reference 'typo' - thanks Bob, you
saved the day. Everyone found the controls OK without too many
problems. Six of the competitors went up the hill to start
and took the anticlockwise direction whilst four went
downhill in the clockwise direction. I don't think that
there was that much difference other than the ACW direction
'split' the climb whereas CW had most of the entire climb in
the middle. Well done to Graeme who came first just by just
over a minute from second placed David Allison. In third
place was Ian Hodgson. Well done guys. We also had two
'virgin' NiteNavvers namely, Steve's daughter Kirsty and
Thursday regular Barry Stapeley who both really enjoyed the
fun night.
Thanks to everyone who took part and hopefully we'll see you
all for the Summer NiteNavs. |
