Hogmanay Hooey 2015

Bolam Lake Country Park, Northumberland, Sunday, December 27, 2015

Short Green

Tom Reeves

After my previous disaster at the Durham night orienteering I can’t say I was overly enthusiastic about this but I was doing my duty and accompanying Joan who has now got the orienteering bug. Learning from the previous event I did bring my new orienteering glasses so at least in theory I could see/read the … Continue reading Hogmanay Hooey 2015

Charity Score Orienteering Event 2015

Chopwell Wood, Saturday, December 26, 2015

1 hour

Dougie Nisbet

I should thank Paul, really. The forecast for today’s orienteering event was terrible and my ribs were a bit sore from an embarrassing 0mph bicycle falling-over-in-slow-motion mishap from Tuesday, and the cat was lying on my feet and the bed was nice and warm, so no point going to Chopwell and getting cold and wet, … Continue reading Charity Score Orienteering Event 2015

North Eastern Counties Cross Country Championships 2015

Sedgefield, Saturday, December 12, 2015

Mudman

Saturday started wet. The rain then turned to sleet, the sleet turned to wet snow, the wet snow to ‘full on’ snow and by the time the senior men’s race started there was a two inch carpet of snow on the course. Thus the scene was set for this year’s North East X/C Champs at … Continue reading North Eastern Counties Cross Country Championships 2015

The weather was improving and it looked to be a good decision. Steph finished her fell runners breakfast … Continue reading Eskdale Eureka 2015

Northern Navigators Orienteering Event 2015

Low Redford & Windy Bank, Hamsterley Forest, Sunday, December 6, 2015

Light GREEN - 3.5km, 90m, 12 controls

Joan Hanson

As the wind howled round the house on Saturday evening perhaps not the most obvious choice for a run the following day was a forest, but having enjoyed the recent night orienteering event in Durham City I was tempted to give it another go. Thankfully Camilla needed little persuasion to join me, and on arrival … Continue reading Northern Navigators Orienteering Event 2015

What a Wheeze 5km Christmas Cracker 2015

Ropner Park, Stockton, Sunday, December 6, 2015

Melanie Hudson

  This race is three laps of Ropner Park in Stockton and 5k in length. It is all on tarmac, and besides a tiny hill at the end of each lap, it is a very flat and fast course. I entered this race for two reasons: the first being that entry included a medal with … Continue reading What a Wheeze 5km Christmas Cracker 2015
