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:
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
website for details
