One for the Orienteers

Rivington Score Challenge

Starting from the Top Rivington Barn and travelling on foot, visit as many different trig points as you can before returning to the Barn.

Points are accumulated according to the distance in whole miles, as the crow flies, that each trig point lies from the Barn. For example, a visit to the three trigs on the Winter Hill Massif, without incurring penalty points, would score 6 points.

Time allowed:- as much as you want, but you must not start before sunrise, or finish after sunset.

Points will be deducted for all minutes or part minutes spent outside daylight hours.

Only ‘proper’ trig points count; silly little bits of concrete with nails in them aren’t ‘proper’ trig points.  The cairn on Healey Nab was a trig point, but is no longer recognised as one.

Only rounds completed after the date of this post count, that is 7th January 2015.

The referee’s decision is final.

This is a perpetual challenge, there is no closing date.

Go for it.
