Claro are delighted to confirm that we will host a Middle Distance Regional Event on 25 November 2018 at Plumpton Rocks near Harrogate (not Ellington Banks as previously suggested due to access issues).

Claro extend many thanks to the owner of this amazing, natural playground, Robert Hunter, for his enthusiasm for our event.  Robert has overseen extensive renovation to Plumpton Rocks over the last few years, so the area is in superb condition.

Map extensively updated by Quentin Harding, Planned by Ruth Ker, Organised by Richard Kirk and all Controlled by David Day.

Courses, all Middle Distance; Yellow, Orange, Light Green, Very Short Green, Short Green, Green, Short Blue and Blue.   The area does not lend itself to a White course however the bold White competitor could tackle Yellow safely as the scope for disappearing is limited (it’s a bounded area with a large lake to go round).

More details

On Wednesday 7th November, the next instalment of our popular Lamp-O series

Then very soon after on Saturday 10th November, the second of this season’s Junior league; all welcome with courses up to Long Orange.

Join us in Knaresborough for the Wednesday evening Lamp-O just after sunset (great views from the Castle hopefully). Don’t forget a torch / high-vis clothing (both essential), and enough cash for a beer afterwards in the Cross Keys (optional). Link from the side bar on the right or here. The car park is free after 18:00 , there is other parking nearby if full.

This fine and sunny Wednesday evening, why not have a go at the last of this year’s Spring O events. Use the link at the side for details.

EVENT CANCELLED

Unfortunately it has become necessary to cancel the planned Regional Event at Guisecliff on Sunday 4 Mar 18 due to the prevailing weather conditions. The decision was made because it is considered that it would not be possible to run a fair or safe competition. Thanks to those officials who have already put in a lot of time and effort into this event.

Continuing the excellent series of Claro Lamp Os for winter 2018, this next one will be based at The Park (at the beginning of Hornbeam Park, Harrogate).  Lots of parking available.  Drinks and food in The Park afterwards.  Meet 6.15 for 6.30 mass start.

The 1:5000 map ensures a clean-sweep will be achievable by all prepared to break into a sweat.  For those who wish to remain fresh-smelling for the pub, the vast majority of controls will be in the Hornbeam Park area itself enabling lots of lamppost-bagging without undue effort.

Decent weather guaranteed.  Bring a head torch, something to write with, a hi-viz garment and a mature companion if you are under 16.

We look forward to seeing you there.  Ruth (Planner) and Tamsin (on-the-day Organiser)
