Ten hardy souls took on the challenge of a longer than usual
Nitenav in Bilsdale on a sunny early spring evening. I
planned the course on a rarely visited certain large “B”
stone in Tan Hole which made the distance from Chop Gate car
park approximately 6.2 miles or 10k in new money. Ideally I
would have preferred the course to be shorter but
unfortunately there’s very little parking opportunities in
the dale. Despite problems with his leg muscles Ian wizzed
round in just over 90 minutes closely followed by David and
Graeme. Mark came in next then Bill and Steve of those to
complete the full course. Bob unfortunately missed the last
control but did manage to visit the stone in Tarn Hole.
Richie, Paul and Ken decided on shorter route options. With
Tripsdale and Tarn Hole to visit the course was very
undulating with a total climb of over 1500 feet. Steve and
Bob in particular were very generous in their compliments to
me afterwards regarding the toughness of the course. Well
done everyone, Bref. |

A massive 18 turned out on a warm and sultry night from
Gribdale gate including 2 newbies Shelli and Lizzie, 5 and a
half miles with 7 controls with a reasonable amount of
heather bashing and bracken beating depending on choice of
route. I almost ran out of maps because of the turnout with
just 1 left and Graeme having the night vision copy as my
printer started running out of ink. However, it didn’t
hamper him as he came home 2nd. Everyone came home safe and
Vince winning the bottle of beer after working out the
letters on each control represented the first name initials
of some of the Smellys (maybe even some of the elders?).
Thanks to all who came along, Mark. |

What a beautiful evening - warm (hot, really) and sunny. The
course was set with all of the clues being on rights of way
and straight forward to find. This proved to be the case as
everyone found them with no issues. First person back was
John Wood, who only went out for a 'short loop'. First
runner to return was David Allison followed, three minutes
later, by Vince Connolly who had to wait to see if there was
anyone quicker. Fortunately for him Wai came back but was
only 5 seconds slower than Vince. Unlucky Wai.
I have to apologise to all for the condition of the footpath
leading to Ayton Firs. When I recce'd the route some 3 or 4
weeks earlier all was fine but, apparently, the Rape had
spread across the track making running quite difficult.
Sorry guys. Anyway, well done to winner David A, second
place Vince and a very unlucky Wai in third. Thanks to all
who turned up, Bill & Steve.
I'm told that Mark's cancelled NiteNav may be resurrected by
David Allison, possibly in early July. Watch this space! |

The course was planned to include some unexplored check
points such as the Ging Gang Goolie Hut, The Watch Tower and
the Hidden Pond at the bottom of the incline. This made the
route a little longer than usual, however, Bref and Bob
proved us wrong with short cuts. We intentionally left the
crossing between Greenhow Plantation and the Incline as a
blank canvas and as it proved, everybody took a different
route! Congratulations to John Wood who was the only person
to come in under the hour! It was, however, Dave Allison who
took the honours in first place by completing all 5 check
points in 1 hour 5 minutes. Ian Hodgson finished second and
Mark Edwards in third. The ever-youthful Dave Thompson in
fourth followed by a close finish by teams Steve & Bill,
Bref 7 Bob and Ken & Terry. I hope you all enjoyed the
evening as much as we enjoyed the planning. Wai & Vince. |

11 Hardy souls turned out for our NiteNav from Castleton top
car park. It was a wet night!! It rained for almost the full
time everybody was out. David Allison was first back despite
having twisted his ankle before reaching the first
checkpoint and going all round Castleton church looking for
point six. Bob Howe complained about being caught out by a
low level tree after checkpoint seven and losing his
glasses. Perhaps that's why he and Bref seemed to wander
round the fields between points two and one (they were doing
the route clockwise i.e., checkpoint ten first and one
last). Steve (guided by Ken) did the first six checkpoints
then came directly back to the car park as time was running
out. The route was generally well received with some
sections being visited by some for the first time. Although
some bracken had been cut down in places the combination of
tall bracken and a wet night made going difficult in places.
Thanks to all who came and gave it a go, Terry and Alan. |

It was a good turnout on the night and everybody seemed to
enjoy it, even the ticks! I tried to keep the course simple
with it more aimed at route choice. As expected Dave A was
quickest round albeit with using the out of bounds road on
the way back. Bref reported seeing Vince quite a few times
and he still managed to come home second fastest, closely
followed by Wai. Dave T was next back with Bref making his
usual direct route choices and always keen to get a bit of
trespassing in, making him less than 4 minutes behind Dave.
The fastest walkers back were the trio of Len, Ken and Terry
with Steve and Bill 2 minutes behind just getting under the
two hours. Well done all. Thanks, Ian. |

We were a bit concerned about how the weather would be as it
was very, very windy and had been pouring down during the
day. I had looked at the weather forecast on Sunday and
decided to put the controls out on Monday morning for that
reason. Just as well!! Anyway, it was dry to start with,
albeit, still very windy on the tops, so much so that the
last control saw the instruction card missing and the cane
had broken in half. Fortunately all who ventured to the last
control had the sense to realise that this was the final one
and returned to the start/finish. The only control to cause
problems was No.2, the 10m crag, which was marked slightly
high on the map. This did cause poor Paul Haydon quite a bit
of extra time. Sorry Paul. This was confirmed by Mark when
he collected the control the next morning.
Congratulation to Vince Connolly who blitzed round in just a
little over 54 minutes, just over 5 minutes ahead of, second
place, Ian Hodgson and Wai Cheung in third.
Thanks to all who took part, especially given the strong
winds.
Hopefully we'll see you all for the winter NiteNav series,
Bill & Steve. |
