Event Report
Hampsthwaite Report
It was great to see over 50 riders on a chilly but thankfully mainly dry morning at
Hampsthwaite Memorial Hall. Even better were the many smiling faces on their
return. I do believe some who ventured higher up did get to enjoy some sleet though!
Thank you for the many positive comments at the finish.
I had really enjoyed my pIanning rides on steadily drying bridleways. I still tried to
place plenty of points on the local network of roads, just in case the weather didn’t
behave, whilst also giving plenty of route options further afield.
Looking at the maprun tracks, there was a good spread of routes in both main
directions from the village. I’m sure you all discovered the deceptive amount of
climbing whichever direction you chose! On this occasion it was Nuno Cerqueira that
triumphed in his ding dong battle with Martin Edwards for overall winter honours with
both now on two victories. Nuno chose a clockwise route around the whole perimeter
of the map only leaving the three controls along the river Nidd near Birstwith and
control 13 at Hartwith.
Congratulations to all the category winners:
M – Nuno Cerqueira – 471 points
W – Claire Riley – 326
MV60 – Steve Collins – 378
Youth – Mieszko Lichtarowisz & James Harrison – 302
Gen – Jeffrey & Laura Barber - 290
Mix – Sally Buckworth & Saul Muldoon – 289
Thanks to Rebecca and the team at the Joiners Arms for the warm welcome and
food afterwards.
Massive thanks to Tim Evans for his help and patience with the mapping and also
manning registration. Big thanks also to Dave Robertson for sorting the entries, food
orders and web postings. We should hopefully have the Bmbo entry system back up
and running for the next event.
