There are 5 events planned for our winter league, and the first one is in Ripon on Saturday 13th November. Online entry open now.

There will be five events, as follows:

• 13th November – South Lodge, nr Ripon
• 11th December – Harrogate
• 22nd January – Thornton Watlass
• February – TBC Knaresborough or York
• 12 March – Cullingworth nr Keighley

Full details in the flier-NYMBO Winter 2021-22 v3– which will be updated as the events are confirmed

A few things to note about the winter series:

• All events will be online entry only with no entry on the day. This has worked really well over the past year, so we will keep this in place. It really helps to have contact details for everyone in case of late changes or if the venue needs to know who attended.
• Online entry deadline is midnight Thursday to guarantee a map. We’ve extended this by an extra day as there’s no entry on the day.
• No specific start times – we did this last winter as a result of pandemic rules, but we won’t do that this winter. Start time is anytime between 0930 – 1030.
• All events will use MapRun – this has worked reasonably well over the summer and offer more versatility for winter events rather than the treasure hunt format (although it is a little sad to see that go aftre all these years). Please get in touch if that presents a problem and we’ll try to help (We will have a spare phone available). Some events may also have treasure hunt clues as well

MapRun – we’ve created a new MapRun FAQ page – this consolidates all the information from over the summer and hopefully answers all the key opints. If something is missing, or isn’t clear, please leave a comment on the page.

Feedback always welcome, hope to see you at one of the winter events!

Congratulations to NYMBO league winners for 2021!

Control #14

Thanks to Conrad and Jill for organising a great course – here’s their report:

Great to see everyone at Kildale for the final event of the Spring/Summer NYMBO league..  Luckily, the rain held off until after the event but the wind was brutal at times and a number of competitors took a battering over Percy Rigg on the return leg.

Thank you for your kind comments and for embracing MapRun.  A big thanks to Tim for preparing the map and holding our hands with MapRun.  Thanks also to Kildale Village Hall and the landlords/agents covering Kildale, Gisborough and Baysdale Estates.

I did a clear up trial a couple of weeks ago and was not reckoning on Ian N almost clearing up (Well Done).  Well done to all category winners.  A final thanks to all riders who did the Little Kildale/Baysdale loop, having to encounter a ford – the bridge was there last week !

Hope to see you all at the winter series and more MapRunning without having to remember telegraph pole numbers or remove freezing hands from gloves to scribble down phone box numbers.

Jill and Conrad
