Start from Bankfoot, based on Battersby Plantation and Moor. A crystal clear bur VERY cold (sub zero) night, especially for October. Control No 5 seemed to fox several of the runners, as can be seen from one or two finish times. Dave Spence was on his usual outstanding form but admits he should have been 5 or 6 minutes quicker due to a navigational error on the moor top. Also an excellent second place by Richie Clarke, the elder . At least three of the competitors (Dave S, Richie C and Dave T) were fresh from Saturday's escapades on the 'cancelled' OMM in Borrowdale. Good to see a couple of ladies competing tonight, who seemed to enjoy the experience. Next race is at GRUFC on Nov 18,                             Bill P.

Starting from GRUFC and based around Guisborough/Hutton Woods and Moor, conditions were perfect - a beautiful, clear and cool night. As expected this was almost a 'Bob Mitchell Marathon' with a course distance of around 7.5 miles, although not the epic of last year. Trevor Symonds was the clear winner at his first Niterace of the season closely followed with a fine run by Mark Edwards, also his first outing due to injury. However, for me, the performance of the night was by Mick Garratt finishing 3rd ahead of some good runners - probably a combination of excellent Orienteerng skill and local knowledge.                               

Next Niterace is at Sheepwash on Dec 2nd.

Starting from Sheepwash and based around Coalmire and Limekiln Bank area. There was a light covering of snow both on the moor and in the woods making access from Swainby near impossible, however most competitors arrived via Osmotherly. The evening started with a small snow shower but became clear and crisp. Rob Bailey set an excellent, interesting course as there was not only route choice but competitors could choose any 10 from 13 controls. The closer controls were more difficult being located on open moor with the others easier and within the woods. Mark Edwards was again in fine form winning by just over a minute from Paul Haydon and a further minute behind, in third was Paul Figg on his first outing of the season.

Next Niterace is at Lordstones on Jan 6th 2009

Start from Lordstones and based Whorlton Moor, Scugdale & Raisdale areas. A very cold and clear night with a covering of 1" - 2" of snow. It was so clear at the start that head torches weren't needed for the first part. However we had a couple of light snow flurries later on. This was another epic of around 7 - 8 miles (Bob Mitchell would have been proud!) with 9 controls (there were 10 but 1 was cancelled). Brendan Anglim, on his first ever Niterace, won by 2 minutes over Paul Figg with Vincent Connolly, who is now leading the series, in 3rd, another minute behind - well done Brendan! Mark Edwards, who was 4th in this race, is lying in nicely in 4th in the series but has done 1 race less that the leaders - watch this space!

Next Niterace is at Clay Bank, January 27th

Start from Clay Bank and based on the plantation and moor to the west (Cold Moor & Hasty Bank). This was a 'short' (for some) Orienteering technical course which was greatly hindered by the poor weather conditions. The clag was down so it was almost impossible to spot controls from any distance and was very windy and cold on the tops. However this was our best turnout for some time with 20 runners and walkers braving the conditions. Once again Brendan Anglim was triumphant with a winning margin of 13 minutes over Mark Edwards. Since Mark is organising the next Niterace and will get his average score of 53 points he cannot now be beaten and is therefore the new Niterace Champion for 2008-2009 - Well done Mark!

Next, and final, Niterace of the season will be at The Cross Keys, Upsall and based on Eston Moor.

Start form The Cross Keys, Upsall, and based on the Eston Moor/Nab areas. It was a lovely warm, clear night (12°C) with thin cloud. Very muddy under foot in some areas but all in all a fairly easy and run-able course. Another bumper turnout for the last race in the series won by 'local expert' Bob Mitchell and only 35 seconds separating the next three. Great to see the return of Bref O'Rourke only some 9 weeks after a full knee replacement and getting all the controls - amazing! Series Runner up is orienteering vet Trevor Symonds and in 3rd place is Ian Hodgson - well done. I would like to thank all runners for turning up and taking part but particular thanks to all who took the time and effort to set out some great course. I hope to see you all again next winter.
