| Alistair Hodgett | Sep 4 2017, 8:36pm | Anyone driving to this who might be able to offer a carpool place from the N11 or nearby? Thanks, Alistair |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Sep 4 2017, 10:15pm | Hope you are all set for Sunday's Nav Challenge! All are very welcome. The short course will be navigationally straightforward so do come along and give it a go. Any absolute beginners to navigation are very welcome to come along and get some guidance to get you started. I'll have my gang with me at the start so feel free to leave your kids with me and they can muck around together. |

| Conor O'Farrell | Sep 5 2017, 3:19pm | Hi Niamh Any idea when we will be able to purchase this? I can see it listed under "Purchase Products"? Thanks Con |
| John Condon | Sep 5 2017, 7:31pm | The purchase option for NC2 is still live. Should this be NC3? Typo? |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Sep 5 2017, 9:13pm | Con, if u don't get sorted, I'll have my voucher and I'll sell you a punch for a modest mark up :-) |
| John Condon | Sep 6 2017, 1:28pm | Hi, This event still isn't appearing in the Purchase area. Cheers. J |

| Stuart Scott | Sep 6 2017, 5:00pm | 18:01 is grand though surely?! |
| Conor O'Farrell | Sep 8 2017, 5:14pm | Got sorted, thanks. |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Sep 9 2017, 10:24pm | Hope you are all set for tomorrow. Warm clothes are essential. Twas fairly nippy up there today in the pelting rain. |
| James H Cahill | Sep 10 2017, 6:41pm | Thank you Niamh and your volunteers for a great day out in the hills. The course was challenging, The conditions were challenging and it was a very enjoyable excursion. Thank you. |
| Stephen Walsh | Sep 10 2017, 6:54pm | Thanks Niamh and team, it was a great finish to an enjoyable/tough series. The cup of tea was most welcome after after the long chasing run in, thanks. Stephen. |
| Paul Smyth | Sep 10 2017, 7:01pm | Thanks Niamh for today's excellent course. Very enjoyable. Thanks also to the heplers who kindly donated their time today. |
| John Bell | Sep 10 2017, 8:15pm | That was another great nav challenge. The course was challenging and the weather added to it. Just looking at the strava flybys there was plenty of different routes taken. I made a good few dodgy choices but it worked out ok in the end. Just added a few ks. The tea and treats while sharing routes was a nice way to finish the season... until the Dublin Peaks or Powerscourt! Thanks again Niamh and crew. |
| Liam Vines | Sep 10 2017, 8:37pm | Well No4 was NOT the way to go but seeing as Niamh took the time to put it out I felt it my duty to go visit it.. A cruel amount of climb.. well done to Alan John and Mike amazing running...and also glad to see that Shane is human after all.. I don't think the Nav R/D's get enough credit there should be a R//D plus or something the amount of work that put in is huge.. so thank you Mick Jeo and Niamh for a brilliant Nav series.. Oh did anyone else get the control at Fenton's today????? |
| James H Cahill | Sep 10 2017, 9:07pm | Ah the secret control at fentons...i was going to try it for the extra pints...sorry points but I wasn't sure how to get back......you'd have to flag down a car or something. |
| Alan Ayling | Sep 10 2017, 11:26pm | Report up. Great day in the hills despite the weather. Thanks Niamh & Co! |
| Gerry Brady | Sep 11 2017, 7:54am | Great report Alan and congratulations on the win, now you have a taste for it like a vampire and blood haha Would John have been closer if he had gone to 7 first and taken 8 after 3? |
| Gordon Place | Sep 11 2017, 8:34am | Thanks Niamh and all the volunteers for a great day out, even with the weather. Nice report Alan, and congratulations on the win. I also thought 4 was worth a visit, meeting up with Liam before going around in circles above 3 (I think). Is there a prize for longest route of the day..... |
| Conor O'Farrell | Sep 11 2017, 11:18am | Thanks Niamh and all the volunteers yesterday for a great event. Also thanks to Joe, Mick and their teams for a great series. I really enjoyed all the events and as a rookie it gave me some sort of idea what it is like to take on some of the bigger challenges, without actually doing so ;). Now, just to find some events to keep me going over the next few months... |
| Stuart Scott | Sep 11 2017, 11:29am | Many thanks Niamh, Diarmuid and Maeve for a thoroughly enjoyably miserable day out yesterday. It's been a while since I've been in that amount of slop. Great event! The course was expertly planned too with plenty of route choice and the food at the finish went down way too easily. Thanks for giving up so much of your time. For anyone who feels bereft now the league has finished there is an orienteering event in Pine Forest this Sunday (17th). The maps will be more detailed than the NCs and courses more compact but you'll still get a decent challenging day out. Check out www.orienteering.ie and http://3roc.net/ - there should be more info posted during the week. Stuart |
| James H Cahill | Sep 11 2017, 4:30pm | Race report up (warning - it takes almost as long to read as it took me to complete Nav 3) |
| Maike Jürgens | Sep 11 2017, 4:47pm | loved reading the race report Alan, looking forward to James' now :). for us poor injured souls (looking for sympathy here) would it be possible to upload a picture of the map so we can understand where all the controls were (and learn for next year)? |
| Andrew Hanney | Sep 11 2017, 10:36pm | Race report up... thanks to Niamh and volunteers for a great day out in testing conditions. |
| John Condon | Sep 12 2017, 11:05am | Thanks to Niamh and everyone else for an 'interesting' Sunday. A report will be forthcoming. |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Sep 13 2017, 12:23am | Thanks and well done to everyone who took part with such enthusiasm and good humour on Sunday. What a tight race it was for 1st, 2nd and 3rd given the different routes taken. I thouroughly enjoyed the post race analysis, with James Cahill's concentric circle strategy being particularly interesting. A big thank you to Maeve, Diarmuid, Paul, Hilary and Sandra for their assistance and particularly to Gavan Doherty who puts a tremendous amount of work in behind the scenes.

| Alistair Hodgett | Sep 13 2017, 7:20am | Hi Niamh, I was actually a DNF if that can be corrected in the results...many thanks to all involved in organising the challenge! |
| Gavan Duffy | Sep 13 2017, 11:26am | My Novice race report is up! Thanks to Niamh and volunteers for a great day. |
| Jarlath Hynes | Sep 13 2017, 2:36pm | As traumatic as it is to revisit my search for control 3... that I overshot & didn't have the grit to backtrack to, I opted to continue on to Stoney Top, meaning I hit only 6 of 8 controls. Please amend my result to DNF :( Thanks to Niamh & everyone involved in organising this, it was a great course, the weather conditions added nicely to the challenge! |
| Andrew Hanney | Sep 14 2017, 8:26am | There has gotta be a few more interesting race reports out there...;) |
| Stephen Bailie | Sep 17 2017, 10:23pm | Be honest lads. Who else didn't hit control 3. |
| Andrew Hanney | Sep 18 2017, 9:41am | Everyone is waiting for John's report... ;) |
| John Condon | Sep 18 2017, 4:38pm | Go on so. Report up |
| Gavan Duffy | Sep 25 2017, 10:10pm | Hi Just wondering will these results will be added to the members recorded results on the website? Thanks. |
| Andrew Hanney | Oct 6 2017, 9:59pm | Can these results be added to the records, thank you. |
| Tanya Sheridan | Oct 10 2017, 7:41am | Just to confirm that we are working on getting these results added to the records. Apologies for the delay. |
| Niamh O'Ceallaigh | Oct 13 2017, 11:10pm | Sorry folks, didn't realise results weren't added. Will sort |
| Andrew Hanney | Oct 14 2017, 7:40pm | Thanks Niamh, I was 3rd on the short course, no big deal if can’t be corrected. |
