For a change, Steve & I decided to start the NiteNav from
The Voyager car park rather than Pinchinthorpe visitor
centre of Hutton Village. The route covered Bousdale Woods
and Hutton Lowcross Woods. Whilst setting out the controls
earlier that afternoon light drizzly rain started, stopped
and restarted so we were unable to appreciate the difficulty
that the runners and walkers faced during the event. I even
managed to lose my mobile phone en-route so I ran around the
course again looking for it but without success - I've since
tried ringing it but I think that the rain has put pay to
it! The rain fell steadily throughout the NiteNav and due to
the warmth of the day visibility was compromised with fairly
thick mist on the higher paths such that light from the head
torches just reflected back. The first two runners back,
within 30 seconds of each other were also first and second
place runners, namely, David (the machine) Allison, coming
in just a shade over the hour and orienteering expert Rob
Bailey. Only four of the nine competitors managed to find
all eight controls and a few, disorientated by the
visibility, only managed three or four. We nearly had one
casualty, namely Bref, who had a mishap at control number 5.
Whilst clipping his map he slipped and slid down the stone
ramp ending up at the bottom of the gulley in thick brambles
minus his head torch. He said that it took him quite a while
to manage to scramble out, after recovering his head torch
and his dignity. Could have been very nasty indeed so beware
all of you in future! The next NiteNav will be at
Pinchinthorpe on November 18th, courtesy of Mark Edwards. |

First of all a massive apology to Dave and Wai. Sorry Dave I
got your overall time wrong. You actually did 10 mins faster
than I thought. It wasn't till Bill spotted it that I
realised, and Wai I am so sorry, you must have been on a
massive high for a few hours thinking you had beaten Dave.
Entirely my fault, sorry mate. Anyway, thanks to all who
turned up on what was a really mild night, I wanted to make
the course as interesting and varied in terrain as possible
with plenty of route choice..........but I couldn't be
arsed, so I just stuck a pin in 6 places and went with that.
Hope you enjoyed it. Well done again to Dave, even with a
dodgy torch he's unbeatable, Mark.
Next NiteNav is on Tuesday 2nd December from Square Corner,
courtesy of Martyn Hudson. See you there. |

A very cold evening with a clear moon saw a good collection
of runners off from Square Corner. We brought this forward
and not knowing the territory so well placed 1 and possibly
4 in incorrect positions. Mike W wants it on record that it
was me not him getting this wrong! As you know some problems
emerged around local land ownership, shall we say. Bill
always recommends we note to keepers that we are up there –
but last time I did this two of our lads ran through the
back garden of the gamekeeper!! In any case it is open
access moorland but we do perhaps need to rethink our
locations at least for the winter NiteNavs. The control had
been chucked on the trail junction at 7 – some cut across
the moor, at least one person (Mark I think) took the purely
track route to both 6 and 7. I had based the route on a
winning time of an hour – this was optimistic perhaps. From
7 Bref took a ridge route above Dale Head farm to get back
to the CW and then couldn’t find it – his time still
testifies to what a superb run he must have put in even
bearing that miscalculation in mind. ‘The Machine’ Allison
came in ahead with Mark and Wai 3 minutes behind – be
interesting to look at their different route choices. Rob
may have been a contender if I hadn’t confused him with an
incorrect control. In any case I hope you all enjoyed a high
moorland run which was the intention. Thanks to Mike for
helping me plan the route and to Bob (and Barney) for
picking the controls up. The next NiteNav will be on January
13th at Ingleby Cross courtesy of Bref. See you there. |

Well done to all who took part in the Ingleby Arncliffe
Nitenav, especially Dave Allison(1st), Vince Connolly(2nd),
Wai Cheung(3rd) and Bill Pennell(4th) for finding all the
controls. Spare a thought for Paul Haydon who had to retire
early as he was still struggling with the remnants of MAN
Flu.
The weather changed for the worse from the off! No sooner
had most of the field set off when all hell broke loose with
thunder, lightning, hailstone and snow! Yet it was lovely
sunny weather when Bob Howe and myself put the controls out
earlier in the afternoon. Cheers for the help Bob.
Apologies for making everyone wait while I made some last
minute adjustments to the map, forced on me as some things
had changed from when I last ran over the route in December.
I based the course on a circular route through the woods and
out onto Scarth Wood Moor and then back allowing for a few
route options to make it a bit more interesting. Looking at
the results it’s obvious that the moor controls proved to be
the most difficult to locate with control 4 being missed by
half the field. It wasn’t my intention to make life
difficult for everyone but perhaps the OS based map I used
wasn’t adequate for this control or perhaps Bob hid it too
well – Only joking Bob! Anyway, I’ll try and keep it simple
in future.
The next NiteNav will be on February 3rd at Bankfoot,
courtesy of 'superorinteer' Dave Allison. See you There. |

Congratulations to everyone who waded their way through all
the snow, particularly to Paul - who was the first starter
and thus set the trail for the other - who just pipped Keith
by less than a minute. There were a number of finishers in
similar times which being at least partly due to the benefit
of following the footprints of others through the knee deep
snow on the open land.
When double checking the course out the day before I was
very surprised by the depth of the snow on the top, given
that there was only a covering at the parking area. I
shortened the course due to the slow going caused by the
snow and lack of tracks - otherwise it would have been even
more of an "epic".
Everyone survived and got to the pub to eat the chips!
The next, and final NiteNav of the winter series will be on
Tuesday 17th Feb from Toft Hill, Kirkby, courtesy of Trevor
Symonds. See you there. |

When putting out the controls on Tuesday afternoon the sun
was shining, so promising a clear night for the last NiteNav
of the series. A good turnout saw 12 Smelly's heading out
into the hills for this 4 mile, 1470ft of ascent event, as
fell race status, well that was if you got the lines
correct. Watching from the car the sight of lines of
headlights heading up and coming down from the hills looked
really good. Mind there was a light or two going around in
circles not sure if they want to go up or down, you know who
you are. Mark showed his fell race and navigation prowess by
winning by a clear margin, well done Mark. Thank you for the
many positive comments about the route, always good to know
the route was challenging without being controversial.
Don't forget the Twilight NiteNav which will be on March
17th and will be from Gribdale, courtesy of Steve H and Bill
P. It will be the usual twilight Norwegian style format, but
with a new twist....... |

The event was from the Gribdale Gate and covered the
surrounding areas, including Great Ayton and Coate Moors.
The format was the usual twilight 'Norwegian' style where
each control in turn would reveal the grid reference of the
next and so on, but with a new twist. There were two routes.
The pink route, which was clockwise, and the yellow route,
which was the same route but reversed. It was a clear and
not too cold for March. Attendance was limited with only 9
runners & walkers where the majority managed to complete the
courses. Performance of the night, was by far, once again,
the unstoppable David Allison and joint second place, were
John Smith and Ged Webster, Our hearts went out to Vince
Connolly who was totally outfoxed by control No. 2, the
cairn. He had spent an age searching for it and must have
ran all around it and returned saying that he had retired.
Anyway after much persuasion he went back out and we thought
that he'd gone to finish the course but returned VERY
subdued saying he didn't do the course. I think he'd just
gone for a bit of a run. Sorry Vince.
Apologies to Runners on the yellow course due to a 'typo' on
the control card at the cairn with the wrong G.R., and
thanks to Keith, John and Ged for returning to put the
correct G.R. for Bref & Glyn - thanks chaps.
We hope that you enjoyed the event and I'll try not to make
any errors in future.
The first of the Summer NiteNavs will be on 28th April from
the Ship at Low Worsall, courtesy of Bref. |
