The turnout was a little less than anticipated probably due
to last weekend's OMM. The course was based upon the area
between Belmangate and Westworth woods. When I set the
controls out earlier that day the weather was decidedly
'grey', to say the least. There was a bit of an improvement
and, at least, it was dry and not too cool. Most of the
controls were just off main tracks and therefore not too
difficult to find. I tied to aim for a one hour winner and
as the course seem a little too compact I decided to add one
more control to give a bit more of a run out. This proved
successful as first man back was veteran orienteer Bob
Mitchell who arrived back in a time of 1:03. Since David
Allison set off 19 minutes after Bob, Steve and I thought
David would appear shortly after Bob but came back in a time
of 1:08:30 securing the win for Bob. Whilst waiting to see
if David could take the lead Paul Haydon arrived back
closely followed by Mark Edwards who managed to secure third
place. Only one of the controls appeared to cause any
trouble - the cairn. With most attempting the cairn after
the wall corner, at the edge of Westworth, by taking a
direct line across the moor, some struggled to find it as
there are a few cairns in the surrounding area.
Thanks for all who turned up and for all the positive
comments afterwards.
The next NiteNav will be on Tuesday 14th November courtesy
of Ian Hodgson - area TBC. See you there. |

The evening turned out to be decent weather no wind or rain
and a reasonable number of people turned out. I'd left all
the planning a bit last minute and hadn't been to run the
course for a check on time it would take. The maps and clues
were done Tuesday lunchtime and I set it out just before the
event and as time was getting on I realised that I'd have to
knock out one checkpoint. The first checkpoints, either way
round you did it, were a bit of a run out, this worked well
with everyone trying to decide which way round to go and I
tried to give a bit of route choice between checkpoints and
listening to which routes people took there was plenty of
variety. I was a little concerned about using the old
railway as the path is only narrow and faint and with all
the leaves falling was a bit hard to distinguish especially
in the dark, but everyone seemed to manage it okay. The
church caused a few problems as it's not a path we use often
and with the approach from the houses making it a little
tricky as one of the tracks looks like a farm track and
another like access to houses, in the daylight all the paths
round there are very clear. There was one odd checkpoint at
Harpley's Well which didn't follow in with a circuit and
there was a number of different routes and a few of them not
what you'd expect. I know this was on tarmac and as you know
I'm not a fan of the stuff but the biggest complaint for too
much tarmac came from someone who does too many Park runs
and doesn't have any knees! Everyone seemed to enjoy it and
gave thanks which makes it all worthwhile and the complaints
as well. Well done to Dave A. who had another good run round
with the most direct route to Harpley's Well, the next
positions were all very close together with Mark coming in
second followed by Vince third (making a strong comeback),
then, Graham, Bob, Trevor close together. All the runners
got all the checkpoints some overrunning the time and the
walkers all stuck together and got the majority of the
checkpoints, thanks, Ian |

The turnout for my first NiteNav as planner was 13 which
could be considered unlucky for some. The course was based
around Preston Park and the Tees Heritage Park area, and was
mainly flat suiting runners but local knowledge proved more
important than I had expected. When laying out the course I
wanted to include the Thornaby Green area with the old
church and Sundial cottage which I thought some would have
not seen before, however this did lead to a bit of an out
and back course rather than a loop. If I had extended the
course to include the A66 bridge this would have made a good
loop but added at least 2 more miles to what was already a
long course. When testing the course I jogged round in 1
hour 30 minutes and this led me to wrongly believe a
winning time of under 1 hour would be achieved however I
underestimated the advantage of daylight and knowing where I
was going. The first two back were Dave Allison and Ian
Hodgson with Dave pipping Ian by just 5 seconds, however Ian
although in the area of control number 4 (the river/stream
junction) had not found the control. I apologise for control
number 1 where the map was not accurate and I had marked the
control too far upstream on the Tees and control number 14
where I should have described the control 10 meters south
of the path junction and not just at path junction.
Hopefully I will learn from this and thanks to all who
turned out and the encouragement I was given to try it
again, Len. |

I really enjoyed my first NiteNav as a planner, however I
must say I underestimated the talents of the Smelly Helly's
orienteering running skills. If I get the opportunity to put
on another event the course will have to be a lot longer and
the clues harder to find. When I initially laid out the
route the snow was 4 inches deep. Consequently I was over
cautious of the risks, if it snowed on the night. (I will
learn from this). The NiteNav seemed to have gone down well.
Thank you all for taking part and the positive comments
following the event. Special thanks to Steve for helping and
checking out my route. Thank you all, Glyn.
The next NiteNav will be on Tuesday 23rd Jan 2018 at Ingleby
Cross. |

After all the snow and ice of the weekend the race night was
mild and clear with most of the snow gone. When I put the
controls out on Saturday afternoon the snow was knee deep
over the moor section and all the forest tracks where very
icy. The reports back from the guys was all positive and the
conditions underfoot were good mainly. I was concerned
that I may well get a visit from an irate gamekeeper once
the race was underway, but that never materialised which was
good. A very close battle at the front of the field between
Bob Mitchell and Dave Allison with Bob winning out by one
minute on the night. But unfortunately once Bob took a look
at the map when he was home he realised he had missed
control no.3 out and rang me, bad luck Bob. Thanks for
participating guys and offering good feedback afterwards. I
think everybody enjoyed the beer and open fires in the
Bluebell, very nice, Trevor .
The next, and last in the current winter series will be
Tuesday 13th February, Huthwaite (Scugdale telephone box),
by David Allison. |

Putting on an event in an area everyone knows well is always
a bit of a challenge, but based on the comments everyone
seemed to enjoy themselves. As I hoped there were a few
different route choices - clockwise or anti clockwise being
the first one. Apologies for the slightly delayed start -
there was a bit of a crisis at work so I could not leave
until later than planned, and then had to put out the last 3
controls.
Congratulations to Graham who beat Bob Mitch but just 27
seconds. I was only timing to minute (using my phone due to
the temporary loss of my only watch) - so the result is
based on the timings recorded by each of them. Mick came in
5 minutes later in third.
Congratulations go to David Allison the 'new' 2016-17
NiteNav Champion who 'recovers' the trophy from temporary
custodian Ian Hodgson. Runner-up was Mark Edwards, 12 points
behind and third place goes to Paul Haydon. Well done chaps.
Don't forget the Twilight NiteNav on March 13th at Clay Bank
and will be the usual 'Norwegian' style. See you there. |

We had a very good turn out for this twilight NiteNav. The
weather was particularly kind given the previous day. It
started quite warm (8 degrees) and eventually dropped to
about 4 degrees. Due to the previous rain it was fairly
muddy underfoot making thing more interesting. All the
controls, bar the last one, appeared to give no problems.
The only real problem was the faint track from No6 down to
No7. Steve and I had partially taped it but forgot to tell
the guys! Everyone appeared to wander off the track taking
them down to the main track in a different place. Not many
had noticed the tape. Only one person found it without any
issues (Vince Connolly) who, after finding the first
control, marked No2 in the wrong place on his map and used
this track to try and get up to, where he thought No2 was.
This allowed him to find No6 & 7. So after abandoning No2 he
bagged 6 and came back the track to bag No7 - no problem!
Everyone else managed to find all 7 controls with the
exception of the three walker due to John Wood feeling
unwell - he's fine now. I think his tea disagreed with
exercise........
Well done to the 'machine' David Allison who came in at an
unbelievable 50 minutes admitting he'd gone wrong at one
point. Six minutes behind, in 2nd place, was Ian Hodgson,
followed in Third place by Graeme Tweddle.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the route and, of course, generated
the usual 'post run' debrief debate. Hope you've all enjoyed
the winter series. See you in the summer, Bill & Steve. |
