Report which has been submitted to local papers.
John Hurley remains King of the Streets after New Year Day’s street
orienteering around Darley Dale. Given exactly one hour to navigate along
the roads, lanes and footpaths of Darley Dale, John confirmed that he
remains one of Derwent Valley’s (DVO) best urban orienteers following
earlier first place finishes at Matlock and Crich.
The event was ably planned and organised by Steve, Siân and Rebecca
Mead. Each competitor had to visit as many control sites within the
allotted time answering a simple question to confirm their presence.
Controls were worth a number of points the further away the site being the
more points being available. Return after one hour incurred penalty points
so as well as navigating accurately competitors had to also judge the time
it would take them to complete their decisions. In the event of a tie on
points the overall time taken was taken into account. The control sites
were varied even included the office of the British Orienteering Federation
which oversees orienteering activities within the United Kingdom.
This was an ideal way to start the New Year even if some regretted, ever
so slightly, the previous night’s celebrations.
Derwent Valley Orienteers are indebted to DFS (Darley Dale) for allowing
the event to be staged from their rear car park.
