Niall Corrigan | Apr 18 2021, 4:03pm | Hi folks, Is is possible that the details of previous years Nav Challenges are archived anywhere? Or do they all self destruct after ten seconds? Niall |
Laura Flynn | Apr 18 2021, 7:44pm | Hi Niall, if you click on Events on rhs you can scroll down to a year and all the events for that year will come up. If you click on the Nav Challenge event it should give up map, results and loads of other details. Hope that helps you find what you’re looking for. |
Niall Corrigan | Apr 19 2021, 8:53am | Thank you Laura but what I had in mind was details of the actual control points which don't appear to be contained in the details or reports, at least in the ones I checked from '18 and '19. Maybe the course setters don't want to give away their devilish secrets but I was thinking that in these days of non racing that re-hashing old Nav Challenges might be of interest to some. I could try and set my own but I'd probably cheat. |
Laura Flynn | Apr 19 2021, 6:43pm | Understood Niall. I’ll have to leave it to one of the race directors from the Nav Challenge to answer that but I suspect you may be correct in your own assessment. |
Mick Hanney | Apr 19 2021, 7:56pm | Hi The grid refs for the controls for 2019 Nav1, The Ow, are in one of that events forum posts. Regards Mick |
Mick Hanney | Apr 19 2021, 8:11pm | Hi, In 2018 the Controls were marked on maps handed out. The Wicklow South EastWest map refers. Excerpt with controls here:- https://www.imra.ie/events/maps/id/1585/ Regards, Mick |
Mick Hanney | Apr 19 2021, 8:16pm | Hi, 2017, Nav challenge for Ironbridge, EastWest map for Wicklow South refers. Map except here has the control circles marked. https://www.imra.ie/photos/view/id/135469/ Regards, Mick |

Niall Corrigan | Apr 26 2021, 9:20am | Thank you all for your contributions. I went out and recreated Joe's 2018 Nav Challenge 3 on Thursday. It was a very worthwhile exercise. Shins are suitably shredded. I'll be having a go at a few more over the coming weeks. |
