Details
21:45 10/10 results updated, including reinstating runners on the Yellow course who didn't find 4, which wasn't in the right place.
We hope you all enjoyed last night's event. Sorry things didn't all run as smoothly as we would have liked (we had some last minute personnel changes so thanks very much to Lucy, Jacky & Peter for stepping in last minute). Well done to those that completed their first night event - the next one is on Sat 2nd November at Loxley.
Results, Splitsbrower ("Splits Analysis") adn Winsplits ("Other") now available above. Sorry printed splits were not available at the event for most.

Venue
Redmires Woods are the woodlands west of the three Redmires reservoirs. Most of the map is mature coniferous woodland with minimal undergrowth providing superb running, but at the northern edge it opens out to moorland sheep pasture. There are few paths. The area is dotted with quarry /mining workings, some of which provide excellent technical orienteering.
