The 2024 league concluded with a rather damp and somewhat disrupted race in Ebley, the disruption due to the closure of the M5 near Gloucester just as people set out to travel! Neither that nor the rain deterred three first timers, though, so well done to Tim Hunter, Alex Agombar and Sam Taunton for getting there and getting round. It was a great run, nothing changed at the top of the leader Board, so well done to Richard Cronin, who topped the Overall and Efficiency leader boards, and Andy Creber for taking the age related handicap win.We'll have a bit of a break now, and aim to start the 2025 league towards the end of January. Volunteer planners always welcome - there is plenty of help available to plan and put on a race. Finally, owing to increased levies(in effect insurance costs) for unaffiliated runners we sadly have to increase the entry fee by £1, to £6, but members of British Orienteering will get a £1 discount, so no change to their fees. ...

I've been very slow to publish results and standings from the Magor race a couple of weeks ago, but these are now published at ngoc.org.uk. The MapRun league finishes this week at Ebley with a Christmas flourish - a standard MapRun 60 minute course, based near the canal so scope for avoiding the worst of the hills, and Mulled wine and mince pies to warm you up after your run. Head over to Fabian4 and sign up. The course is now published and available to download. ... See MoreSee Less

Great run in Magor and Undy last night. Planner Alex Lyne thought that a clean sweep would be possible, but no one managed it, though some went close. So a very good test of both physicality and route planning, and much enjoyed by everyone I spoke to at the finish. We wrap up the season at Ebley, on Wednesday 18th December, with mulled wine and mince pies to warm you up on finishing. Details are available on ngoc.org.uk, and will appear here soon. We are still looking for planners for next year, so if you fancy setting up a course, email maprun 'at' ngoc.org.uk and we can sort something out. Creating the course is pretty easy, and we can help as required, so give it a go. ... See MoreSee Less

The 2024 MapRun season is rolling towards a close on 18 December, and we are starting to look at our programme for 2025. We aim to have another 20 or so runs during the year, a mix of winter night street races and summer evening semi rural ones, and we need people to plan them. They are pretty straightforward to plan, and we have a good list of possible venues, though you may have your own ideas as to where we could go. If you fancy planning one, email maprun'at'ngoc.org.uk and we can discuss options and opportunities. You don't have to be an expert MapRunner; we'll help you along the way. And if you are new to MapRun, and wonder what it's all about, go to ngoc.org.uk/maprun-gloucestershire and read up about it. It's a great way to get some exercise, learn a bit of map reading, and explore places you may not have visited before around the county. ... See MoreSee Less

Well, what a fun time we had at Newnham last evening, thanks to MapRun's Odds and Evens scheme, clever planning by Abi Jones and Nicki Pettiford, and a lovely evening with a wonderful moonrise, in no way done justice on a micky mouse phone photo! By the way, spot the lone paddler waiting for the bore, due through in about half an hour! Almost everyone got the hang of the intricacies of odds and evens scoring on a course where every control you pass is registered, whether odd or even, and the system worked perfectly. Then on top of that delicious Welsh cakes and tiffin to replace the normal Lidl offerings! The general view was that it was a most enjoyable change from the normal scoring, but not to be repeated too often; it adds too much thinking🤨.Our next run, next Thursday, is in Hereford, and then in early October we are on the western edge of Gloucester, taking in Alney Island and the city centre, so look out for details soon here and on the website, for both of these races. Entries are open already on Fabian4. ... See MoreSee Less
