The night started on a little bit of a damp note but soon
cleared for fairly chilly one, although, apparently, it was
warmer up on the top than down by the cars. The course was
planned entirely within the woods and set out such that
there were a few route options - one or two of the controls
needed a bit of thought on which order to bag them. There
were various mileages clocked up ranging from about 5 miles
right up to over 7. One or two attempted straight lines
between some controls but that appeared to be a bad choice
costing extra time. When putting the controls out I, more or
less, stuck to the main paths and tracks. As expected
control No1 proved a bit 'troublesome' as it was at the
bottom of a VERY slippery concrete culvert, suggesting that
where there were pairs that only one slid down for safety
reasons. All of the controls were well hidden but fairly
easy to locate and this was the case since no one really
struggled to find them. I expected the winner to be just
under an hour but this soon came and went and I began to
worry in case either there was a man down or a control had
gone missing but I shouldn't have since soon after the first
runners were back where Trevor and Bob Mitch ran in together
and then most within the next half an hour. Well done to
last man out but not last back Ian Hodgson. There were only
45 seconds between Ian and 2nd place Bob Mitchell and the
same between 3rd and 4th place Trevor and Mark. Thanks for
all who came along and for the positive comments. Lots of
banter soon ensued in the Voyager afterwards. See you at the
next NiteNav on Tuesday 13th November at Clay bank by Bref
O'Rourke. |

A dozen hardy Smellys turned up for my NiteNav on an evening
of driving rain and bitter cold wind which unfortunately
denied everyone the benefit of the evening’s full moon.
Well, despite my careful planning the evening was marred by
the unfortunate appearance of a farmer shining his spotlight
near to Control No.2 which put off some of the Nitenavvers
visiting the control. He can’t have been there long as half
the Nitenavvers visited the control without incident. Very
odd? This proved costly for Trevor as he decided not to
visit No.2 on hearing the farmer was out and about but still
got five controls in one hour so had he visited No.2 would
have been a clear winner. Bad luck Trevor.
Of the six Nitenavvers who did get all of the controls,
David Allison was the quickest though only by a minute ahead
of Bob Mitchell. In fact, there were only four minutes
separating the first four with Paul, third and Mark fourth,
also having good runs. I was pleased that everyone managed
to avoid a time penalty, with Mick, Bob, Glyn and Dave T
managing to get full value for their money by taking maximum
advantage of the time available! Cutting it fine there!
Like Trevor, Steve, Len and Ian unfortunately had to cut
short due to the farmer’s intervention with Steve also
suffering a fall on the way round.
Putting the farmer issue to one side, I felt the evening was
otherwise quite successful, especially the reflectives at
each control which were very well received and that despite
the mud, the driving rain and icy cold wind, nobody
complained about the course! Bref |

Tuesday night of the NiteNav was a bit miserable to start
with raining and a strong wind blowing. I'd been out the
night before to set out the 4 self clips then again just
before 5:30 to check the self clips were still there and
some chocolate Santas for the lucky one to find. I also tied
a bit of tinsel on the controls without self clips to try
and make it obvious runners were in the correct spot. There
were a few missing on the night for various reasons so only
7 turned up and with a short course and various route
options I thought it might change the results round a bit.
Everyone found the controls without much problem and
managed to follow some of my rough mountain bike tracks I'd
added to the map okay. Mark Edwards came back first and was
the also the fastest on the night with Dave A coming home
second followed by Paul Haydon who managed to 'rustle the
most chocolate santas'. Next home was Mick Murphy who is
still finding his feet after spending so much time working
he's forgotten where all the tracks are on the moors, so one
to watch for the future, he was just 10 seconds in front of
Bob H. and Glyn and Bref coming in shortly after.
Unfortunately for Dave A his torch ran out of power and
without a light to see it took a while trying to connect his
spare together, whether or not this would have affected the
overall outcome or not I don't know, Ian

A clear and cold night made for straight forward navigation
for the 14 runners and walkers out for this NiteNav. I kept
the course relatively short, 4.2 miles just in case there
was bad weather on the night. The start was deliberately put
in the lower car park to give just short of 1000ft of
ascent. There was a lot of positive feedback with a lot of
comments about the variety of terrain and interesting
control points, even a tarmac section especially for Ian.
The race at the front was between Ian and Dave with Ian
winning out by a few minutes. The much improving Paul was in
third place finishing under the hour. Mark was on a
different planet to the others running straight past a
control without recording it. Thanks to everybody, it is
very satisfying for the planner when everybody enjoys the
course. Cheers, Trevor. |

After all the storms I was fearing the worst - but the
weather was good and the ground was soggy but not too bad.
Congratulations to Ian who flew round in 52 mins, Second was
Mr Edwards in 73 mins and a fantastic third was Bill in 95
mins.
A couple of controls proved tricky for some people -
particularly No.4 in the Quarry where there is much more
detail on the ground than on the map and No.5 in the woods -
which was easier from the west than the south.
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves - at least a bit!
Cheers, David.
Final Series Positions: -
Congratulations to Ian Hodgson who is is this year's winner,

done guys. Thanks to all who took part especially the race

We had an excellent turnout given that we'd had 50+mph winds
that afternoon when Steve and I put the controls out.
Fortunately the wind had abated somewhat. All seemed to be
going well when Steve received a phone call from Dave
Thompson telling us that, although the cane and reflective
ribbon was there, there was no clue information for the next
control. Fortunately almost everyone had assembled at
control No2, the boundary stone, and we were able to tell
them the grid reference to control No3. The laminated
control clue sheet must have been ripped off by the strong
winds earlier. We were worried in case any more had blown
away but in the end all was well.
A suggestion was made that in future all competitors will be
provided with an 'emergency' envelope that will contain all
the control clues and grid references in case a control goes
missing. If all the controls are proved to be there and a
competitor opens the envelope then penalties would be
incurred or even disqualification. This is to be confirmed
by the 'elders' whoever they are.........
Well done to Ian Hodgson who zoomed home in 55 minutes. Not
only was he last man off he was also first home! In second
place, just under 5 minutes behind Ian, was David Allison
and a great run in third place was Wai Cheung.
A big thank you to everyone for turning up and for the
positive comments. It makes it all worthwhile. Thanks.
See you all for the summer series, Bill & Steve. |
