Northaw (2 miles east from Potter's Bar Station, G.N.R.) is a village on the Middlesex border, near the source of the river Colne, and a place of considerable interest.
In the wood north of the village there lived a hermit named Sigar, the subject of some monkish legends.

This was our first event at Northaw since 1994 and at one stage it looked as if it might be several more years before we held an event there..
Northaw is a difficult area for juniors progressing towards longer courses and used to simpler SE areas and this is reflected in some of their times.
Finally our thanks to Robin Barris, who stepped in as organiser at a particularly low point when both parking, parts of the land access were in some doubt, and to the many HH volunteers who made the event work on the day.
