Mountain Navigation Challenge
The Mountain Navigation Challenge is a two-day mountain marathon type score event for teams of two people traditionally held in, or near, the Lake District. However the 19th MNC sees it’s first venture North of the Border to the Moffat Hills. The rounded summits and high ridges reward all-comers with spectacular views, and the deep valleys of Moffatdale and upper Annandale are remarkable for their unspoilt beauty. Explore one of the best kept secrets north of the border.
The time limits are seven hours on day one and five hours on day two, during which teams visit as many controls as they can, noting down the code on the control card. Teams must carry all the equipment and food they require for two days and one night on the fells. The maximum number of teams is only 15 and the event has a history of being fun and friendly and yet retaining the element of competition.
The 19th MNC will start and end at Moffat Water Hall, Moffat Water Valley, Dumfriesshire, DG10 9LG (Grid Ref NT136079). The hall is located on the A708 Selkirk Road five miles north east of Moffat.
