Details

Description:	Night Series with the events after Christmas being on harder terrain unsuitable for novice juniors. As well as the usual Long (4-6 km) and Short (2-4 km) courses, a lower technical difficult 3-4 km 'Nighthawk' event for novice adults will be offered. You will need a good lamp or light, preferably a headtorch to leave your hands free for the map and compass! Prices will be £3.50 for adults and £2.00 for juniors. The weather will generally be cold and wet, with underfoot conditions muddy, icy, or if we're very lucky snowy! The conditions will dictate the safety requirements. Clothing suitable for the terrain and conditions should be worn, so come prepared. It is recommended that you carry a whistle and spare batteries/torch. It is also advised that you wear some form of reflective clothing in the unlikely event of a search for a competitor who is hurt, unable to walk or is concussed). This shouldnâ€™t be too difficult as most modern clothing, shoes, back packs or bum bags have some reflective sections or flashes. However, some reflective armbands will also be available at registration. Starts are from 5.45 â€“ 7.15 pm and courses will close promptly at 8.30 pm (unless otherwise indicated at registration). Earlier starts may be allowed if the planner is ready to go. ALL COMPETITORS SHOULD ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE RETURNED TO REGISTRATION BY THE COURSE CLOSE TIME, EVEN IF THEY HAVE NOT COMPLETED THE COURSE.
