Championship Weekend – Event Information | nymbo : north yorkshire mountain bike orienteers

UPDATED Saturday 18:06

Here are the final details for the Championship Weekend. Please check here for any further updates during the day.

Weather: the forecast for Saturday isn’t great, please make sure you prepare accordingly and make sure you have a suitable rain jacket with you incase you have to stop as you will get cold very quickly. Please see the ’emergencies’ note below.

MapRun: this is the first year the Championships will use MapRun. There is a simple tester course available to help you get setup. See previous post for map. A5 printed course maps will be available either from the cafe or Steve’s caravan please return the maps after you have used so others can use. To test the course you need to visit at least one control after the start then the finish.

All 3 courses can be loaded using the QR codes (below) or following this location in the MapRun App. You can only load one course at a time, so load the the one you’ll want first before leaving home.

MapRun FAQ here – remember check your phone volume & tone!

Saturday: 5 hour course | Sunday 3 hours course

Both days: Registration 0915 -1015, starts from 0930 until 1030.

Start & Finish locations: The starts on both days are different so we know you are doing the correct course but the finish for all courses is the same at just beyond the cafe. All control sites are different on both day. See pictures below.

EMERGENCIES: Please make sure you have a foil blanket, perry whistle and suitable first aid items. Hopefully most of you are doing this already and have these to hand but we have some spare foil blankets and whistles for you to buy at £2 per item , these are now a compulsory item at NYMBO events. CASH ONLY PLEASE!

Please also make sure to have the event emergency contact numbers (which are on the maps) stored in your phone to make it easy if you need them.

THE FINISH: Please make sure you get checked in when you return and provide a rough idea of your score. You need to do this even if you don’t complete the course as we check you all in and out manually and we don’t want to send search parties out for people sat at home drinking beer!

MAPRUN TIPS:

please make sure you use the same name in the “user profile” as your BMBO entry so no Tim/Timothys Dave/Davids, Steve/Stephen , Tony/Anthony.
When we import the results into SI to help Anthony with the national league and to put the correct penalties on, it must match and there may be a 10 point penalty for all those I have to change.
Make sure your phone/watch is fully charged.
Running another App, like Strava, so you have two GPX track recording will mean in the event you have an issue with MapRun, the manual upload from the other is an option. We find there’s usually aboutr 1-2 people per event who do this.
