Good turn out tonight. Clear and cold run ably led by swift as ever. Good to meet plodding bear and see Pengy out for first time in ages

Night-O at Shorne Country Park near Gravesend. Ran with a friend completely new to Orienteering. Mistakes made included not starting my Garmin at the beginning of the race, so no idea how long we had until the time limit (score event), ran round in circles at one control before giving up on finding it, and overshot paths twice.
Good fun, good speed training, glad to have introduced a (rather gullible :wink: ) friend to the arts of Night-O, and highlighted I really do need a brighter headtorch, especially when you look at the 'car head-lamps' that many of the other competitors carry on their heads :w00t:
Hills - good for the soul...

Just a quick 'thank you' to the KCAC folks who took me on a headtorch run on weds, and especially for not speeding off into the darkness when I was huffing and puffing a bit. Cheers people...I'll be back! (AT the back, probably!)
Quick 2 miler with daughter and glow in the dark dog, reflective dog coat for a quid, bargain:thumbup:
Hills and Guinness!
Did about 9 miles on saturday night - further than I intended, but enjoyed it. From Ilkley end of Ilkley Moor, over to Burley and then back over the top and down into Silsden. Lovely moonlit night, if I'd been walking I could mostly have got away with no torch. Cold, calm, boggy - marvellous.
not running I'm afraid but a night nav ex round langsett woods
Last night's headtorcher was f**king wet
If anyone in the North West fancies a go at night orienteering there is a 5 event NW league every winter. Check out the fixtures on the SROC
