    The Night Navigation Competition
    Register your interest in forming a team here. Teams should have between 4 and 6 members (minimum age 14 years) and must include at least one responsible adult. There is a minimum charge of £10 per team member to enter, but we are hoping that teams will aim to raise further funds through sponsorship. A sponsorship form can be downloaded by clicking the link at the bottom of this page

How it Went

7 teams entered the competition. They included teams from  orienteering clubs, professional walking party leaders, and the scouts. Competition was impressive and the result was very close with the Lagan Valley Orienteers team just beating their local rivals by an incredibly narrow 2  points. 

Special mention should be made of “The Elite” team made up of  some local scouts who though they didn’t win put in a terrific show and I suspect had the best fun of all the  teams.

The  competitors jointly raised over £300 in sponsorship, and for that sort of money  the Mountain Rescue Team members were happy to stay awake and on the hill with  the competitors until nearly 1am on Sunday morning.
