These three courses were planned by John Fallows for the 2021 British Night Championships, a cold, windy and wild night out on Cleeve Hill. You are invited to run any or all of them to see how you fare, in daylight or in the dark, against the top night orienteers in the country.
For reference, you can see the BNOC results here.

Parking In the quarry car park for Cleeve Hill, just past the golf club. Note that this closes at night, so you'll need to park elsewhere.Start Take the strip of short grass which runs directly up the hill from the west edge of the quarry car park. After about 250m or so, the path goes through a collection of gorse thickets, and the start is on the brow of the hill towards the far end of these thickets.Finish On the Northern edge of a prominent gorse thicket towards the left hand(western) end of a collection of thickets roughly in line with the top edge of the quarry carpark, and before you cross the obvious golf fairways below the distinctive vegetation.Available until 31/12/2024
