TRAINING: lowkey, probably no timing, just a chance to learn/practise bearings and other night tactics

FROM 23^rd NOV ONWARDS: Timed courses, both TD5 Green Standard so if you can’t yet do a Green alone you’ll need to ask an experienced night O officianado to shadow you.

Starts 6-7pm, courses close 7:30-8pm depending on weather/area/organiser. Seniors £4, Juniors/Students £2.50.

TORCH HIRE: £2 per night, 2 torches available, contact Sam G/Iain M/Richard O.

GRAMP cordially invite you to come and have some nocturnal fun at Glen Dye on Saturday 25th Feb at the Scottish Night O Champs.

Planner Richard Oxlade will be exploiting it to its full potential when dreaming up your courses. How can you resist the challenge? Entries open now via Oentries.

Glen Dye lies southwest of Banchory, Aberdeenshire. Parking will be on forest tracks at GR NO659905. Start and Finish nearby.
