An all in one update: the event results are here; the league after 3 events is here and the planners comments and control map are below:
Cleveland Hills Planners Comments – Jill and Conrad Ellison
A big thank you for everyone who supported us yesterday – Steve W, John D and the gallant tribe of control collectors – Richard and James M, Christine and Ralph D, Ray M, John R, Simon C, Carl V and Neil R. And to Tim E for putting the map together.
The tracks were bone dry and the early rain on Saturday morning only served to dampen down the dust. The tracks were the driest Jill and I have seen for 20 years. The track through Easby to the west of Captain Cooks, normally a swamp, was totally dry.
Thank you for all of your positive comments. Plenty of smiles at the finish or was it grimacing after the Little Kildale/Baysdale loop ?
Well done to the category winners – particularly to Dave L, first timer to NYMBO, on a great score and 4100ft of climb (proper hills !) and to Angela B-B for a storming score.
Thankfully we were all done and dusted and controls collected before the heavens opened.
See you all at Ingleton, hopefully (for pre- and post- cake and tea).

Nidderdale report:
Here are Neil’s comments and the control map from the last event, you can also read other comments and post your own here
It was great to see so many people out for this event, both those who wanted to take advantage of the glorious weather as well as those looking to avoid the Royal Wedding !
Fortunately the riding conditions were much drier and faster than those I encountered during my planning rides in March and April.
I felt the course was quite challenging in terms of route choice and this seem to be reflected in the results with a wide variety of route choice evident. I did place quite a few high value controls in the north west corner to encourage riders in that direction and then decide if they had the time or legs to take in West Tansfield and North Tansfield.
Thanks for the many positive comments and feedback – it does make a difference !
Also thanks to all the volunteers at registration/download/car parking/control collecting: Steve, John, Geoff, Alistair, Paul, Tim, Conrad and Gill.
Results from today’s sunny event are here – much better riding conditions than the last time we were here! Full report to follow.
The blank course map for the next event on Saturday 19th May is now available.
It’s a 4 hour event, based at Grewelthorpe Village Hall HG4 3BU – see the previous for Neil’s comments
REGISTER 10.30 – 11.45
STARTS 11.00 -12.00

It’s three weeks until our next event in Nidderdale on Saturday 19th May. It’s a 4 hour event, and it’s planned by Neil Reed:
Needless to say that during the planning process in March and April the weather has been at best damp and the ground has been soft and slippery – although my so called racing tyres no doubt didn’t help in that respect !
The event area is essentially an 8 km radius around the registration and finish based at Grewelthorpe Village hall just south of Masham. The River Ure runs through the area with limited crossing points which could be a factor in route choice.
The controls are spread on a selection of roads, tracks and bridleways. I had initially envisaged it might be a “fast” course, however there are enough hills and given the current soft ground this might not be the case !
We hope to provide basic refreshments but I am reliably informed there is a café in the village that should be open all day.
Car Parking has kindly been provided by Newholme Campsite located approximately 500m south of the village hall. I will try to ensure the usual signage is in place.
Look forward to seeing you the event.
