Newent Woods Results
The NGOC 2025 League continued today back in the forest at Newent Woods. Many thanks to Greg Best for planning and organising, Neil Fraser (NWO) for controlling and to the many helpers without whom the events wouldn’t happen. Results and…
Newent Woods – Sunday 4 May
The weather is still looking good for Sunday’s SWOA and NGOC League event at Newent Woods, and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone. It should be a great day.
Here are a few reminders about the day:
Bishops Cleeve Results
Thanks to Cleeve School for permission to use their facilities enabling us to add a short technical area within their grounds as a finale to all courses. Bishop’s Cleeve presented me with some challenges as a novice planner but I hope that the courses were interesting and showcased what the village has to offer. The weather, although cooler than the previous two weeks, remained favourable and conditions underfoot were good. Thanks for coming along and hope to see you at the next NGOC League event at Newent Woods on 4 May.
A big thank you to the posse of volunteers without whom the event would not have run so smoothly.

Results and Routegadget can be found on the Results page, where there is also a comment form which you are invited to complete with any constructive comments you may have on any aspect of the event.
Thornbury MapRun – Thursday 24 April
If you have been ultra keen and have already downloaded the Thornbury MapRun in readiness for the day, you need to download it again. We have had to alter the course slightly due to the recent closure of two footpath bridges. It is unclear when/if they will re-open, so we have adapted the course accordingly, and have deleted and re-published the course.
Bishops Cleeve Urban Race – Details now Published
We have now published details for our urban race, part of the NGOC 2025 League, at Bishops Cleeve on Sunday 13 April. You can fine the details at https://www.ngoc.org.uk/event/2025-league-5-bcleeve/, and entries are open at Fabian4.
Crickley Hill Results
Many thanks to Rob Finch, plus helpers, for the Western Night League finale at Crickley Hill. It was a pleasantly warm evening with great views (even in the dark) over Gloucestershire.
Results are now published on the Results page and Routegadget is there for you to track where you went. You will also find Rob’s comments on the evening, and a form inviting you to comment as well, on any aspect of the event.
CompassSport Cup Heats
Huge congratulations to everyone who braved the wind and rain on Sunday to see us beat both BOK and DEVON and win our heat of the CompassSport Cup. There were noteworthy performances across the board, with the juniors doing extremely well, but strong representation on the scoreboard across all age classes; perhaps the first time for a long time that we have had scorers on all 12 courses. The final is on 14th September on sand dunes at South Gare, near Redcar, hosted by CLOK, so that promises to be a different experience and good fun. Save the date!
