Crossing the Tees
and dotting the eyes……..
So 14 brave souls dared to attempt the 13 mile epic Summer
NiteNav I put on last night with 8 successfully completing
the long course. Congratulations go to Vince and Wai
finishing in an impressive winning time of 2 hours and seven
minutes, well ahead of the pack. As I said in my preview the
course I set was going to be long, probably over twice the
distance I’d normally plan for, but due to the outstanding
area and the super features on route, e.g. Girsby metal
bridge, the English Electric Lightning F.3 XR718 jet plane
and the Vulcan XH563 front bit and the likelihood of us
never using this area again I decided to go for it – or
rather I made you all go for it! As I escaped unscathed
afterwards, unless you were all too knackered, I’ll take it
that everyone enjoyed it despite the amount of tarmac on
route– 50% Mick Garratt reckoned?
Thanks again to all those who took part, Bref.
Some of you took time to take photos on route so don’t
forget to email them to Bill for the SH website and for
those who’d like more info on some of the features you ran
by here’s a few links……

Despite the black cloud over Osmotherley and the threat of
thunder and hailstones, ten runners and two 'groupies'
turned up for the Cod Beck NiteNav. The course went from the
rim of Scugdale to Oakdale via the booster station, quarry
and reservoir. The weather improved throughout the evening
and hopefully allowed some of the beautiful views to be
appreciated.
First out and first back was Paul Haydon in 1hr 42. This
time was subsequently bettered by Ian Hodgson in 1hr 27, Wai
Cheung in 1hr 35 and Mark Edwards in 1hr 39.
The course was 9.5 miles by rights of way and most runners
managed to shave at least half a mile off this distance.
There was a mixture of familiar terrain with a few new
corners and linking sections. Bref and Steve made the
sensible (if subconscious) choice to incur a 6 minute/30
point penalty in order to nab an 80 point checkpoint and
there were some interesting variations in the choice of
routes taken. Well done to everyone who took part, Keith |

We were gifted with a fine night and especially for some,
dry nettles etc. A thank you to all participants for their
patience with a novice organiser and having no complaints
from local farmers.
I am pleased I put in the walkers route giving all abilities
a challenge. In hindsight, it may not be ideal to have pie &
peas after, as it puts some time restraints on late starters
and compromised Ian’s run. Being in an arable farming area,
it restricts the possibilities of free funning and route
choice, but I was able to negotiate some discretions with
two local farming friends and hope the route was interesting
enough. I think Peter the Crown landlord surpassed himself
with the pies supplied which I think were enjoyed by all
(actually it maybe wasn’t a bad idea after all, just lack of
experience on the organiser), Thanks again........Ray |

The weather up to Tuesday afternoon had been somewhat
'changeable', however the sun made an appearance and we were
blessed with a beautiful warm summer evening, despite the
midges. The course had been based around the woods and moors
to the south and east of the start, Blue Lake almost being
the most westerly control, so everything to the east. The
course was very runable and would be a challenge to bag all
the controls in the allotted 2 hours but two runners managed
this feat - well done. We had a fairly good turnout with 10
runners and 5 walkers. I must apologise for the typo with
the answer choices on the clue sheet for the boundary stone
date. When I checked my sheet with the 'correct' answers I
had put 1860 so I don't understand what happened there with
1911, 1931 and 1951 - probably a case of 'copy & paste'
syndrome.... Sorry! I think that other than this 'glitch'
all the others were ok, listening to the mainly positive
feedback, which seemed to generate a fair bit of
conversation in the pub afterwards.
Well done to winner Paul Haydon and to second place Martyn
Hudson, who surprised us all so he must be returning pretty
much to full fitness after a long lay off and to third
placed Mark Edwards. There was only one other runner who
managed to complete the course but unfortunately Vince
Connolly came in 11 minutes over the time limit and so
incurred penalty points. Thanks to everyone for turning up
and for the positive comments, making it all worthwhile,
Bill & Steve.
See you all at the next NiteNav on July 28th at the Lion
Inn, Blakey courtesy of Martyn Hudson. |

The days running up to the NiteNav saw awful rain and fog
over the route. The map took in parts of Westerdale and
Rosedale and touched the heads of Fryupdale and Farndale –
so almost a four dales run. Weather on the night was pretty
bleak but no problems with visibility. We had some concerns
over land ownership and routes so some controls were changed
a couple of days before. It was a long course but a winner’s
route should have been around two hours. As usual there were
some historical features but also a rare tour of Esklets –
at the beautiful head of Westerdale and at the origin of the
Esk itself. There was a lot of route choice – Bob and Bref
had a great run but struggled with the gate at the path head
of Danbydale. Bob reckoned they circulated round it by 600
metres. Ian had a good long run with his favourite tunnel
entrance but the winner was clearly Dave Allison who sped
round and estimated that he could perhaps have done it 5
minutes faster but no more. Dave Thompson also had a great
run particularly as he went for the high scorers and came in
bang on the two hours. Walkers Steve, Glyn, and Len also
bagged a good few. Next NiteNav is Kirklevington courtesy
of Dave Allison. |

A good turnout of 14 people for a course of two halves to
give a few different route choices. There was a runners loop
on footpaths to the west of Kirklevington which I think were
new to everyone and a navigators loop through the Leven
Valley (with some paddling in the River Leven included for
the entry price). Ian Hodgson proved to be best at both and
completed the full course in 1 hour 33 mins (taking 38 mins
& 55 mins respectively), which was over 25 mins faster than
anyone else. It was a Hodgson 1, 2 as Tom finished second
beating Martyn (EPO) Hudson just 17 seconds and Vince by
just under 4 mins. A few people came in over the two hours
and got a few time penalties (1 point per minute / part
minute), but based on the comments afterwards everyone
seemed to enjoy themselves and got in plenty of miles of
running, David.
All was to 'play for' on this last NiteNav for the series
winner. Up to this race Paul Haydon was leading but due to
Ian Hodgson's tremendous final run took the title away form
Paul, who finished runner-up. In third place overall was
Vince Connolly. Thanks and well done to all this years
participants and especially the organisers, Bill.
Don't forget the Twilight NiteNav which will be at Bankfoot. |

The course was set to give a length of about 4 miles with a
winning time of around 1 hour, which we were quite close to.
The course was based around Battersby Plantation and Moor
with plenty of handrails and lots of climb involved. The
weather was almost perfect, overcast, dry and clear, far
better than when we put the controls out earlier that
afternoon where it was mizzley rain and a bit of clag on the
top, which did clear. There were quite a variety of varying
times and surprises. Dave Thompson had a tremendous night,
honing his excellent navigation skills whilst the Hodgson
twins missed controls. Dad Ian, who was very honest by
confessing to having missed the quarry (the penultimate
control) but accidentally stumble across the last control.
Poor Tom had written down the wrong grid reference to the
spring and spent quite a time trying to locate it,
eventually giving up, I felt sorry for veteran orienteer
Keith Wilson who couldn't find the 2nd control, running up
and down for a while and probably would never have found it
as I had been out and retrieved it after an hour!
Congratulations to the winner, seasoned runner and
orienteer, Mick Garratt closely followed by Paul Haydon,
just 30 seconds behind. Steve and I would like to thank
everyone who turned up for a great night, including the
bonus of free chips at the Dudley, and for all of the
positive comments afterwards. See you all for the winter
series which should commence at the end of October, Bill.
P.S. I'll be looking for volunteers to organise winter
NiteNav events. |
