Rivelin Skyline on Sun 2nd Jan 2000

20 startersA new millenium, a new race format. The new orienteering style score event proved popular and challenging. Handicapping was provided by giving people points before they started, e.g. over 50's started with 70 points. Unfortunately the organiser injured himself the week before and so was unable to prove that all controls could be visited in the 100minutes allotted. This didn't deter some from trying anyway! 15 controls (total of 470 points) were spread throughout the valley, high and low with no discernible 'best route'. Most opted to climb up through Stannington for an anti-clockwise route with only a few opting for the clockwise Den Bank start (the optimum direction). Almost everyone made it to the Headstone (the furthest point), some well after 60 minutes had elapsed and there were some interesting dashes back to the Rivelin to get back in time. Despite this only 1 person managed to finish within 100 minutes. The penalty points system (-4 per minute late) was too generous and won't be so next year! Next years race will be a similar format and be held somewhere in the Rivelin. There are plenty of spare maps should anyone wish to have a go during the year.
