To infinity and beyond! Part 2. Our second visit to the Sun
Inn (It's 3 years since the our last visit!) for a run
around five of the bridges on the River Tees and another
chance to sample the BEST pint of Bass in the world! So 10
hardy souls turned up on an evening of foul weather having
to contend with constant rain and a biting cold easterly
wind. Local knowledge and good form saw Dave Allison
comfortably home first. There's a surprise! Second place
however was a close run thing with Mark pipping Ian by only
a minute, closely followed by Keith, again only a minute.
Unfortunately Ian missed one control and and therefore
wasn't in third place overall. However, there was bad luck on Bob for
aggravating
his hamstring halfway round. Afterwards, everyone was very
complementary about the course and the street 'O' map I used
with only CP8, the railway traffic signal, turning out to be
a bit tricky for some. Not used to being complimented after
one of my events, I must be losing my touch! Thanks to John
Wood and Martyn Hudson for helping me on the night. - Bref |

Checking back through previous year's results this was one
of the largest assembly of runners and walkers we've seen so
I wonder if it was the lure of pie, peas & chips? We had a
lovely warm night with perfect conditions, if not a little
hard under foot (better than mud & clag), with our
'athletes' covering an area almost as far south as Bankfoot
cottages to Battersby & Coleson Banks to the North and the
fields in between. Nobody, other than Bref & Glyn seemed too
eager to go as I think most took a fair time to study the
map and try to work out the optimum route. Steve & I had a
short walk around the village not expecting anyone quite so
soon. We hadn't long returned to the car park when Ian
Hodgson came galloping back in an astounding time of only
1:02:05, nearly 5 minutes ahead of David Allison who just
pipped an eagerly waiting Vince Connolly by just over a
minute. I must apologise for a minor error on the map where
I had controls 5 & 6 the wrong way round but since the
descriptions and locations were fairly clear it wasn't too
difficult to work out. This was due to a last minute change
of route due to VERY irate cows with their calves that I
experienced the previous night when I did a last minute
recce (I've never been so scared...). Everyone appeared to
enjoy the NiteNav and this was only surpassed by some
delicious mince pie, mushy peas & home made chips and
beautiful refreshing
Wadworth Boundary seasonal ale
(apparently only available throughout May) mmm. Thanks to
all who came along and for all your kind comments. The next
NiteNav will be on 7th June from Square Corner, courtesy of
Martyn Hudson. See you there, Bill & Steve. |

Good turnout of
14 participants in great weather. It threatened
thunderstorms but they didn’t materialise. I designed the
route carefully to take on board open access areas,
footpaths and a mix of open moor, forestry, and the mixed
bilberry, wood and heather waste above the Siltons. It was
designed to be extremely challenging not for the complexity
of the controls but of route choice and traverse over rough
ground. The technical difficulty of control 7 (sheepfold)
did prove challenging with even expert orienteers like Dave
Allison heading far to the south of it. Nine Stones proved
as controversial as always. The routes up from Dale Head
farm also offered a range of opportunities. I suspected that
even though it was theoretically possible to bag all
controls within the two hours I didn’t think it very likely.
I was proved wrong with Dave getting round completely with 2
minutes to spare. Outstanding. I suspected that the route
might favour Ian Hodgson as he likes this kind of terrain
but he came in over time and without a last control. Bref
had an epic run round but being 41 minutes outside of the
time limit has accrued a rather large number of penalty
points. Ken Wilson is supposed to have given up running but
the competition must have got too much as he was sprinting
in at the end with Len and Ian. Steve also bagged a good few
after saying he was going out for an idle wander. Wai turned
up at the finish with 22 mins to spare and agonised whether
to go and bag the Oakdale bridge control. He did and after a
sharp sprint back up got back with zero minutes to spare.
Well done and thanks for all the positive comments, Martyn
The next NiteNav
will be on 28th June from Welbury courtesy of David Allison.
See you there. |

Starting from the village of Welbury, opposite the Duke of
Wellington, and covered the surrounding countryside. Thanks
to everyone for turning up on a very wet evening at a new
area with not many contours. The results were a Hodgson
lockout with Tom really showing Ian 'Who's the Daddy' with a
run over 10 minutes ahead of everyone else. I planned the
route in April and had not been back to the area until
Monday evening for a final check. Unfortunately a number of
footpaths had completely disappeared or were full of
nettles, so I had to have a major re-plan with more road and
track than original envisaged. Thanks for all the nice
comments and the opportunity to visit a good new pub, David.
The next NiteNav is on 26th July at Gribdale, courtesy of
Wai. See you all there. |

For those who didn’t turn up or missed check point 1 you
missed the WORLD PREMIERE unveiling of the new Smelly Helly
flag (well it was the only thing I could think of as a check
point)! A tremendous round by Mr Dave “Invincible” Allison,
who came in 13 minutes in front of Ian Hodgson and closely
followed by Mick Garratt. Things could have been so
different had young Hodgson not been so honest and revealed
finding a different shaft to the one on the map (Tom -
always attend the pub session afterwards if you want to
fight your corner against the Elders!). Most check points
were known to runners and walkers, so I placed the emphasis
on route choice and it didn’t disappoint. It was good to see
the creative side of our group going in all directions.
Keith Wilson was so focused on his map reading and running
he managed to run pass my car at the finish and couldn’t
understand why the two unsuspecting folks in the next car
wouldn’t give him his finish time? Many of the group enjoyed
thrashing in the over grown bracken, so much so that Bill
spent 30 minutes at check point 6 (have a look at his Strava).
Big thank you to Julie and Claire for finding Bref's
expensive compass. I have placed on Ebay starting at £30.
Glad you all enjoyed the night out. See you on the 16th
August for the 6th and final NiteNav of the summer season.
Location TBC (Stands for Ian Hodgson’s New House I think),

It was a good turnout for holiday time and the evening was
sunny and warm with the paths dry and fast running. My plan
for having all the checkpoints was to give the walkers (who
turn into runners on NiteNavs) a bit more interest with more
checkpoints to be had. I was hoping to lead the runners out
onto the longer circuit to get the high scoring points but
with a chance of running out of time and not having enough
time to get the checkpoints closer to home and giving the
possibility of the shrewder walkers to get more points for
less distance. The plan worked reasonably well giving the
runners a good blast out and the walkers plenty of choice to
fill their two hours to bag as many point as they could.
Steve and Glyn had a tremendous run out and I've never seen
them sweat as much. Bob and Bref decided to go long and did
really well to get as many checkpoints as they did. Wai had
a real good run and the path out round Thimbleby and back
through to Oak dale was a first time for him so he was
having to navigate all the way not like many of you who know
the path through there. Dave Allison as usual stormed round
and would have got all the checkpoints if it was not for
there being a direct line through from the youth hostel to
Red Briers. The lost time meant he had nothing left for
checkpoint 17. He was only two minutes late so he still
managed to get the most points. Wai was second and Mark
third who also picked up a few penalty points, which didn't
effect the overall results. Keith had a good run round with
a carefully planned route to get as many points as he could
without doing the long route out to Thimbleby. Ian Mac kept
Len on the right tracks to get themselves a good number of
checkpoints as well and well done to Martyn who's not at the
peak of his fitness at the moment with him dedicating most
of his time to writing books, drinking and a bit of eating.
My apologies for the telegraph pole which I had the wrong
number on and was also informed it wasn't a telegraph pole
but a power line. Poor Ged went down all the power lines
into the bracken counting them, losing a lot of time which
he could have used to collect more points. Thanks for all
turning up and you all seemed to get your money's worth with
the majority being out for close to 2 hours, Cheers, Ian.
Congratulations to the ‘new’ NiteNav champion David Allison
for the 5th time! Runner-up was, last year's winner, Ian Hodgson
followed by Mark Edwards in 3rd place. Don't forget the
Twilight NiteNav on 27th September, venue TBC. See you
there, wherever it is........... |

Well, I wasn’t expecting that, in the words of Jamie Lawson!
When Steve and I put the controls out we thought that the
only 'difficult' control to find might have been No.5
(Plinths), after finding a 'typo' error on control No.4 clue
card, but how wrong can you be...... After setting everyone
off Steve and I walked down to retrieve control No.1 from
under the bridge and by the time we returned we thought that
it wouldn't be long before the first runner returned as
putting the controls out took only just over an hour.
However, we began to worry when it got to about 7:10pm
thinking that either the runners were having difficulty in
locating one (or more) of the controls or worse, a control
had gone missing. Both turned out to be true as control
No.4, at the pond outlet, appeared to have been removed
making 'difficult' (impossible) to find. Most people decided
to just go for a longer run whilst three of our tenacious
runners decided to try some of the other circles marked on
the map and came up trumps finding No.6 and then were able
to find No.7 from this - well done 'super sleuths', making
them the top three finishers. As an update Steve contacted
me to say that he had been out to retrieve the controls and
that everyone must have been in the correct location for
No.4 and was, indeed, missing and not only that but No.6 was
also missing but this must have been the following day as
three of the runners found it.
The controls were: -
1. Under the bridge - GR567 103
2. Ruined Building - GR579 104
3. Path/Stream Junction - GR576 108
4. Pond Outlet - GR581 113
5. Concrete Plinths - 574 115
6. Winding Engine Base - 572 118
7. Railway Bridge - 567 118 |
