Over 100 people braved a dark winter’s night in Moray in an unusual navigation challenge in the name of charity.
The orienteering event is one of the few of its kind to take place after dark.
The fundraiser was staged by Forres Golf Club in honour of former Elgin Academy Dux and sports fanatic Matthew Campbell, who died aged 16 last year.
More than £500 was raised for children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent.
Moravian Orienteering Club helped organise the event, held on Tuesday, and described Matthew as a “massive inspiration” to the group.
CLIC Sargent’s north of Scotland fundraising manager Peter Logie praised the event as a “wonderful way to remember Matthew”.
He added: “CLIC Sargent is very appreciative of benefiting from a sport which was close to his heart.”
Marker points were scattered around all four corners of Muiryshade golf course. Golf club members joined Moravian Orienteering Club to navigate the darkened terrain.
With cloud obscuring the moon, there was little natural light for participants to rely on. The teams made their way using head torches and compasses.
Highly-ranked James Tullie produced the fastest time on the 2.6-mile long course, beating British junior international Andrew Barr by four minutes.
Matthew Campbell had been living with Wilms’ tumour, a type of childhood cancer, since he was two. However, the teenager never let it deter him from an outgoing lifestyle.
As well as orienteering, the enthusiastic Roseisle youngster had a passion for badminton and played cello in the school orchestra.
He was made school Dux in his fifth year at Elgin Academy.
