Calder Valley Fell Runners’ annual winter navigation event last Sunday was in Todmorden and organised by last year’s winner James Logue.

Checkpoints were on the hills and moors to test physical and navigational ability.

Saturday’s horrendous weather was replaced by a dry and bright day as the 50 runners set off at intervals. They had three hours to visit as many checkpoints as they could without incurring penalties for being late.

Experienced orienteer and long distance specialist Simon Bourne produced a high quality display for a clear win.
