Forvie Night-O – Results 20/1/2016
Thanks to everyone for participating tonight. Sorry I couldn’t make the printer work; results are linked below. Such a good evening I couldn’t resist collecting in the controls. Crossed the moor in the moonlight with my torch off watching a faint aurora just visible against the moonlight. Nearly lost myself at one point when IContinue reading “Forvie Night-O – Results 20/1/2016”
DNC Tyrebagger results 6/1/16
Not such a bad night despite the forecast and oddly the worst wet bits were gigantic puddles on the main tracks and not the stream that bisects the area E-W as expected. There were about four people who complained about location of control 167 (I suspect they were right), most said they found it noContinue reading “DNC Tyrebagger results 6/1/16”
DNC Balmedie 23/12/15 Results
Results and splits Hard to tell whether the Lidar contours are drastically different to the old map as you tend to navigate by the BIG features in the dark so it will be interesting to try the new map out in the summer. Has Rob got any more mega-mapping projects up his sleeve I wonder?
DNC Glen Dye Part 2 9/12/15 Results
A very wet but thankfully warm (OK – tepid) night and most folk got a real drooking half way round. It was still raining so much by the time Helen finished that she drove 20m to the Chillimobile rather than get her spare dry clothes wet! ***UPDATE*** Amended Results Splits Control 172 was incorrectly placedContinue reading “DNC Glen Dye Part 2 9/12/15 Results”
DNC Glen Dye Part 1 25/11/15 Results
Hot off the press – results (revised 26/11/15) and splits. Routegadget now loaded too. Interesting to see how you all coped with Pete’s long legs across those large areas of nothingness in a variety of different ways. Mine was to chicken out completely and refuse to run at all as my bearings are rubbish atContinue reading “DNC Glen Dye Part 1 25/11/15 Results”

Night O at Hazlehead, Wed 28th October – Results
The clocks have gone back and we have the Deeside Night Cup to illuminate your Wednesday evenings. First event was an introductory event at Hazlehead on Wednesday 28th October on a damp and rather misty evening. There were three courses: Long Technical – 5.0km Short Technical – 3.1 km Orange – 2.8 km Here areContinue reading “Night O at Hazlehead, Wed 28th October – Results”
Deeside Night Cup 2015/16
To try and make best use of the darker nights, the DNC will start and finish a bit earlier than in previous years and also run closer to Xmas/New Year break to squeeze in a couple more. Helen Rowlands is the DNC Coordinator for GRAMP. We have planners for all the GRAMP events but ifContinue reading “Deeside Night Cup 2015/16”
Scolty DNC 25/2/15 Results
Here are the provisional results from tonight. Thanks to David for some very fast almost sprint-style courses in the northern part of the forest which tempted you to overshoot while enjoying the runnable terrain. 2015-2-25-ScoltyDNC Splits.pdf 2015-2-25-ScoltyDNCResults.pdf Revised to void the legs on either side of No 4 Apologies from the planner for placing NoContinue reading “Scolty DNC 25/2/15 Results”
Glen Dye DNC 11th Feb results
A beautiful clear, cold evening, about -2 degrees, no wind, no moon, wonderful star-gazing weather! A good entry enjoyed some of the faster terrain in Glen Dye. The long course descended down through the heather slopes of the western semi-open/rough open moorland. First time it’s been used at night we think. Results are on theContinue reading “Glen Dye DNC 11th Feb results”
Forvie DNC 28/1/15 Results
The event details read: “some genuine TD5+ with absolutely no paths, very few natural line features and acres of dunes to perambulate through”. I’ll admit to finding the prospect of all that a wee bit scary (being incapable of holding a bearing for more than 20m on a good day) but it was great funContinue reading “Forvie DNC 28/1/15 Results”
Balmedie DNC 14/1/15 Results
Turned into a real wild, wet and windy night although most of us managed to get round before it really set in. Commiserations to John for having to earn his 50 planner’s points the really hard way collecting in! Just when I thought I was getting to know Balmedie in the dark well enough toContinue reading “Balmedie DNC 14/1/15 Results”

DNC 2014 Hazlehead warm up – results
Many apologies for the delay, Sam had to get the Sleeper to London immediately after the event and just back now. Dedication, eh? There are a couple of names that only ever seem to run at night. I think they may be vampires? DNC 2014 Hazlehead 19-11-14 Results.pdf

Glen Dye DNC – 12 Feb 2014 – revised results
The weather turned wild and wet about 3pm, and it was raining as we left Aberdeen to drive up the valley. The rain held off for a little while about 6pm but returned an hour or so later, so we all got rather damp… But Glen Dye is such a cracking area and wonderful toContinue reading “Glen Dye DNC – 12 Feb 2014 – revised results”

Balmedie DNC 15 Jan 2014 – Results
Well, the weather was mild (9°C) but there was wetness in the air which dampened the outsides (but not the spirits) of the 40 people who ran at Balmedie. Tricky courses on a moonless night… No 154 in particular was hard, and the prizes go to those who persevered (eh, Ali?). Many thanks to DennisContinue reading “Balmedie DNC 15 Jan 2014 – Results”

DNC Glen Dye Results 18/2/13
After a slight pause (frustrating for some but very handy for those of us away on holiday who thought we were going to miss the fun) for snow last week, we got to scamper round some of the lumpiest bits of Glen Dye. Ali’s signature style of Middle Distance flavour control picking proved very popular and certainly made the forest seemContinue reading “DNC Glen Dye Results 18/2/13”

Snow Shoes in the Dunes (Balmedie DNC 5/12/12)
