General Information
Ilkley Moor is open moorland and can be very exposed. Those who did the
Susa trials last June know how cold it can be in Summer. So despite 'Baht'at'
meaning without a hat it would be advisable to have hat, gloves and warm
running gear. For the U14 and older races where the courses go onto high
moor the organiser may insist that a caguole is carried so please be prepared.
All courses are marked and marshalled and are on good paths or tracks.
The orienteering maps below show the courses and should be self explanatory
(orange - open moorland, white - blocks of woodland). If anyone wishes
to recce the courses please give Shirley a ring and she will help. Orienteers
competing at JK 2006 should NOT go onto Ilkley Moor to recce, but competing
at the Championship fell race is fine.
We would like to thank all those local individuals and companies who
have offered to help us with 'goodies' for the Championship goody bags.
Pace for providing the 'boot' goody bags,
Harrogate Spa Water for sportstop
water bottles, Jamie Hutchinson and
Bettys & Taylors for tea bags (make your
parents a cuppa when you get home) and Lawrence Basham from
Arcade Fruits
in Ilkley for the bananas.

Nearly There
Bahtatcam:
the new Championship Leaders yellow vest.
Who will be wearing them after Baht'at??
See you all at the race ...

Saturday: 1 day to go!
Bahtatcam:
This'll be the view as you descend into the finish (U14 and older).
The moor is fantastic today and the sun is shining, but it is bitterly
cold so hats and gloves would be advisable. Bring a cagoule just
in case the weather changes. |

|
Bahtatcam:
One day to go and the organiser's changed the course ...the two
paths at the end of the tarn are in a disgusting state after the
snow and rain this week. Competitors in the U14 and older races
will ALL go around the South (moor side) side of the tarn and at
the far end go up a small bank onto a different path, meeting the
original path later. It's a much nicer path anyway.
|
|
Friday: 2 days ..
Bahtatcam:
At a secret location in Yorkshire we have a stash of over 80 Easter
Eggs, 230 Creme eggs, 200 bananas, 360 bottles of water, 200 boot
bags, and 170 packs of Yorkshire Tea.
.... and Dave Woodhead threatens even more chocolate for the Yorkshire
prizegiving. |
|
Thursday: 3 days ..
Bahtatcam: Sunshine
on Ilkley moor today but still very cold. The photo was taken from
Keighley Gate Road looking back across the moor - the top cairn and
the Badger Stone rock are shown. We've just taken delivery of 200
bananas! |
|
Wednesday: 4 days ..
Bahtatcam: rain
overnight cleared a lot of the snow, but still some on top. The photo
was taken just after the top cairn (marked A on the U18/U20 course
map) showing the path split. All courses (U14+) take the right path
down to the block of trees. |
|
Tuesday: 5 days ..
Bahtatcam: it
snowed overnight, but it's melting fast. The course marked on the
photo is common to the 3 courses that go up onto high moor (U14 and
older). It's taken 200m after the tarn looking up to the block of
pine trees that all the courses go up through.
|
|
Monday: 6 days to go
yesterday's snow is still on the Moor, but no fresh snow
overnight.
To cheer you up, here's a picture of the goody bag and some of the
things in it that will be received by all finishers in the
Championship races.
Plus, of course, there'll be lots of chocolate prizes too!
|
|
Sunday: 7 days to go
Bahtatcam: snow on t'moor
It's a snowy Ilkley Moor today.
Temperature just below freezing. We braved the elements and
walked up to White Wells to take this photo looking down at
the finish area. You can work out most of the U8 course and
some of the U10/U12 courses.
