It was a fairly damp night, with rain leading up to the
event. The course was base on Guisborough Woods, Westworth
and the adjacent moor, starting from Guisborough Rugby Club.
When Steve and I put the controls out, earlier that
afternoon, we both agreed that no one could possibly get
close to completing the course in the recommended one hour.
We thought that the winning time would be around 1hr 10m.
How wrong could we both be! Not only did David (the machine)
Allison get close to the hour but finished in 59 minutes and
was second runner back, after runner up Mark Edwards, having
set off last. We were both gob smacked. Anyway what a
fantastic run. Mark, and I believe, Keith Wilson struggled
to find the grouse butt on the open moor as the cloud had
come down and thought they'd found it only to discover it
was sheep's eyes! As mentioned in second place, and first
runner back, was Mark (Mr. Consistency) Edwards. We thought
that Ian Hodgson would give David 'a run for his money' but,
unfortunately, couldn't manage to find control No. 4, the
wall end, which would have, had he found it, the runner up.
Thanks to those who braved the night and to Mark for
retrieving the controls.
Hopefully we'll see you at the next NiteNav on November
13th, Bill & Steve. |

Eleven hardy souls turned up on a perfect mild, dry evening
in an area not used for a NiteNav for some years and hardly
known to most of those who turned out. Nether Silton forest
is definitely the Big Daddy for orienteering in our area,
requiring 100% concentration from NiteNavvers throughout due
to the numerous tracks and paths which have to be negotiated
correctly to avoid a long night in the woods. To help
everyone I decided, perhaps controversially, to issue the
map over the weekend so those who were able could recce
their chosen route beforehand or those who weren't able
could at least familiarise themselves with the map and plot
a route of their choice in advance. Also I decided to allow
an extra ten minutes to the normal 2 hour time limit.
Looking at the results, I feel I was proved right to make
these changes to the norm as it’s clear that they had a
positive influence on performance on the night with times
being about the norm for the 6.5 mile course.
With David Allison absent in Brazil, Ian took full advantage
and came in first well ahead of Mark, Paul and Bob Mitch.
While Ian had recced the course, Mark, Paul and Bob did very
well as they hadn’t had time to go round beforehand. I was
particularly impressed with Mark who had plotted an
excellent ant-clockwise route while everyone else chose to
go clockwise.
Commiserations to Bob Howe and Keith who had a decent run
until they missed the tiny path to Hanging stone from the
above track, a risky attack point, which lost them quite a
bit of time.
Apart from the muddy tracks I chose, blame the local hunt
for that as they were out en mass when I was putting out the
controls, I was surprised to be accused of hiding some
controls. Sorry but my motives were to ensure they aren’t
stolen as some are right next to well trodden paths.
So, a big well done to everyone for getting round a very
challenging course safe and sound. It’s a true testament to
your skills in night navigation,

An elite field of nine turned up for the Chop Gate event in
icy conditions. The course went out towards Cock Howe where
the route choices centred on whether to use the prominent
track running north/south as a runnable highway to enable
out-and-back forays to controls, or to go for direct lines
across open country. Having reccied both there wasn’t much
to choose between them, although the former was considerably
longer in distance but perhaps a safer option when the mist
came down. The main difficulty lay in the mis-match between
the rights of way as marked on the map and the actual paths
on the ground. Despite this Paul found all the controls and
came home first in the fastest time of 1hr 46min for a well
deserved win. Mick G was 2nd and Vince 3rd. The only other
team to get all 8 controls was Bob and Bref who were out for
2 hrs 40. Paul clocked 10k which was the same distance Terry
and I covered to collect in all 8 controls, plus the deleted
number 6, albeit in the daylight.
Thanks to all who turned out and to Terry for his help in
putting out and collecting controls and in logging runners’
times.
While preparing the course I discovered ‘OS Locate’, a free
app which downloads to your phone and turns it into a GPS
with 6 figure grid references and accurate height displays.
No need to replace my broken Garmin after all! Thoroughly
recommended to all Smellies, Keith. |

Firstly apologies for getting the checkpoint in the wrong
place I had the wrong field corner.
It was a good turnout of 14, I know Arncliffe Woods have
limited scope for the run out and back in without having to
bash through trees and brambles, I did consider the option
of a straight line down from the transmitters or the power
lines but it's in full view of the gamekeepers house and
Park house is close to the power lines, maybe leave it until
the summer. The winner was as expected Dave Allison followed
by Paul Haydon, they both went to the CP4 where it was
marked on the map and were together and didn't find the CP
because I'd put it in the wrong place. Some people went
straight to CP4 that was in the wrong place, so it wasn't a
complete disaster. It's a good job on my part that it was
such a distinctive feature, or I could have been in for more
abuse than what I got. There was a bit of a contentious CP
near the old church as there is a small path that runs round
the quarry and north side of the church grounds, that was to
small to add to the map but most people found it, apologies
to Wai and Mark who searched the whole graveyard. The other
CP that caused a bit of searching about was the spring which
was concealed by a bit of marsh grass but everyone found
this one. All the other CP's went well apart from lack of
time. I tried to give a little route choice across the moor
by staying safe with the path or direct line across the
heather. Dave Allison took this and he surprised me by
following the wall straight down through the wood instead of
the footpath and forest track which cost him a bit of time
because Paul Haydon caught him back up. Bob, Bref and Glyn
had a really good run, the three headlights must have worked
well to pick up the reflective tape on the CP's. Well done
everyone for safely finding there way back to the start and
most people seemed to enjoy themselves. Dave A. won't win
the next NiteNav as he's hosting it from Cod Beck, Thanks,
Ian. |

Well done to the 12 runners who ventured out on a wet, windy
& misty night nav from Cod Beck main car park. When I put
out controls on Monday night the ground was rock hard and
the temperature around zero. Within 24 hours the ground had
completely defrosted.
I tried to plan a course that was not too long but gave
route choice and the need for navigation. There were at
least 3 different route options - but most opted to go to
control no. 1 in the woods first. Len & Terry liked the
woods so much they spend 45 minutes looking for the control!
Congratulations to Ian who flew round in 53 mins, almost 20
mins ahead of Bob Mitch, who was a further 16 mins ahead of
Mark, David.
The next and final NiteNav of this winter series will be on
Tuesday 19th Feb from the Hutton Village Road, courtesy of
Len Small. See you there. |

Thanks to all who turned out for the Hutton NiteNav which
saw another victory for Dave Allison in 1hour 11mins who
beat Bob Mitchell into second and Mark third place. Dave
Thompson and Bob Howe both had good runs and those made the
five people who managed to visit all the controls in 2 hours
or under and I apologise to those others who found the
course either too hard, too long or both. When I set the
controls out with Terry we mainly walked round in 1 hour 50
minutes and I was expecting a winning time of under the hour
but unfortunately did not appreciate the increased
difficulty of the darkness combined with an abundance of
new tracks which were not on the map.We did try to add the
new paths to the OS map where they were relevant. When I
first planned the course I did not have controls number one
and four included and the waterfall at number three was an
adjacent bridge which would have been easier to find; that
course was only 4 miles round and I thought it would be too
short so added controls numbers one and four to increase the
length to 5.75 miles, and when I discovered the waterfall
close to my original control point three I thought it was an
idyllic spot and would be nice to include. I think my first
plan would probably have been about right, hindsight is
great. One good point the last person to finish just beat
the start of the heavier rain, Len. Congratulations to David
Allison who, yet again, takes the glory and wins this

We had a reasonable turn out for this twilight NiteNav. The
weather was particularly blustery due to storm 'Gareth'. It
started out dry but soon after we had a few light showers.
All the controls, appeared to give no problems to most with
the odd exception. There were a couple of 'questions' re:
the grouse butt but all controls were checked by both myself
and Steve with a GPS. We felt sorry for Bob and Mark who
seemed to find the wrong set of grouse butts and almost
ended up on the Armouth Wath track and so had to double
back, eventuall locating the correct one. Poor Ian Hodgson
was unable to locate the instruction stapled to the spring
fence (you need to make sure you read ALL instrctions Ian!),
having been there, I think. I seem to recall that Ian's son,
Tom, also failed on this control a couple of years
back............. Fortunately Ian spotted others hovering
around the grouse butt and so was able to 'bag' the rest of
the controls. Everyone else managed to find all 8 controls.
Well done to the 'machine' David Allison who came in at an
unbelievable 52 minutes admitting he'd gone slightly wrong
at one point. Over nine minutes behind, in 2nd place, was
Trevor Symonds, who was first man back, follwed in third
place by Mick Garratt.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the route and, of course, generated
the usual 'post run' debrief debate, with copious amounts of
chips (Thanks Dudley). Hope you've all enjoyed the winter
series. See you for the summer series, Bill & Steve. |
