Northiam 10K, 16th September 2018 We were once again kindly asked to assist in this Northiam to Bodiam 10k run, now in its second year. Last year we encountered a few communication problems, the route is very undulating and goes through some very wooded areas. So this year coverage was the priority. We used a…
The Sunday morning of the race was cold, bitterly cold, temperatures struggled to get above freezing and there was a very chilly easterly wind to throw into the mix. Control had the short straw and was in position first, at 08.30. Other members were in positon between 09.00 and 09.30. With road closures going on…
Hastings and Rother Ray-net would like to wish all our visitors and all the other groups out there a Happy Christmas and a rewarding New Year.
This mornng Martin M0MJU, Antony G4CUS and Steve M0SSR took part in the Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA) test in preparation for the event next year in May. Martin stayed at North Seat, then went to Check point 1, to liaise with RAYNET-UK groups and Hasting & Rother RAY-NET members, Antony and Steve, who were…

The day started off rather misty with a distinct chill in the air. First order of the day was to erect the antenna mast at Bodiam Castle, who we thank for their hospitality and the use of some mains electricity. This was a new event, not just for us but for the organisers as well.…
We were asked to provide communications for the Battle 10K by the Battel Bonfire Boyes, http://www.battelbonfire.co.uk/2016/Bonfire/Bonfire.php. The weather was almost perfect for the runners, dry, not much wind and not too hot. Our members were in position between 8 and 9 depending on their location. The main purpose for our involvement was to pass on race…
Firstly a huge thank you to the Hastings Lions Club for asking us to help with this fantastic yearly event once again. It truly is an honour to be involved in such a fantastic event. The weather for the day was forecast to be strong winds and on this occasion it proved to be correct.…
Battle bonfire was our last scheduled event this year. And we are pleased to report that all went very well. The weeks leading up to the event were a little uncertain, there were changes to the Battle Bonfire Boys (BBB) committee and inevitably things were a little confused. Having said that, credit to them for…
