Given those leg lengths on the B i'm not surprised they're struggling for entries. I did the long night leg last year in our all-woman team which was 7.5 (took me 2 hours including 30 mins on 1 control in the fog - it was well light when i finished!) given that this is the course favoured by the all-women, handicap and junior teams - clubs are going to be struggling to find women and juniors prepared to tackle an 8.8k night leg - i don't think i'd take it on. that coupled with the biggest week of the GCSE schedule starting on monday knocks a lot of capable juniors (and their parents) out

Perhaps that's why the leg lengths are a closely guarded secret on the event website?
Although having been to Pillar Wood last year, then longish courses is probably what is needed, the terrain is very flat, fast and runnable throughout. Could make for more teams close to the front than normal at the Harvester?
Why did I do that...

Not sure if it was public info or not. We just asked through our insider route so we could work out if we had a team or not (i.e. some don't want night, some don't want too far...)

According to the U.S. Naval Observatory, civil twilight is defined to
begin in the morning, and to end in the evening when the center of the
Sun is geometrically 6 degrees below the horizon. This is the limit at
which twilight illumination is sufficient, under good weather
conditions, for terrestrial objects (eg. orienteering controls) to be
clearly distinguished; at the beginning of morning civil twilight, or
end of evening civil twilight, the horizon is clearly defined and the
brightest stars are visible under good atmospheric conditions in the
absence of moonlight or other illumination. In the morning before the
beginning of civil twilight and in the evening after the end of civil
twilight, artificial illumination (eg. M I L A) is normally required to carry on
ordinary outdoor activities. Complete darkness, however, ends sometime
prior to the beginning of morning civil twilight and begins sometime
after the end of evening civil twilight.

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNerd
Yeah Pillar woods looks pretty fast. And I think my mum even did 6mins/km at the Compass Sport Cup. It looks quite easy too but the combination of people running very very fast and at night I guess there will still be some mistakes made.
