If going to the Brighton Echo Anomaly were not enough for you, GORUCK have announced three events over the anomaly weekend – Stealth, Urban and Operation Clear Field. These are physical and mental challenges, but are the only way to earn the associated scanner medals and fabulous accompanying patches. Note that you will still have to participate in the regular anomaly if you want the Echo anomaly badge.
Based on prior sites, the Stealth and Urban events will provide additional Intel for the anomaly itself.
Be sure to sign up at enlightened.rocks/brighton and let the organising team know you’re going rucking. If you’re not sure about rucking and have questions, sign up for the anomaly, and the team can answer all your questions.
The first day of battling in the Echo anomaly series finished with Enlightened in the lead by 666 to 249 after outstanding victories in Jacksonville, Florida, USA and Baguio City, Philippines and a tough battle in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
If you’d like a piece of that buzz, join us in the wonderful city of Brighton on 20th May for a great day of Ingress with an after party to match. It’s only a short hop from London. Don’t leave it too late to sign up as swag is only available for a limited time!
“Get yer swag on, get yer swag on, froggies Shake ’em, now-now, get ’em on for Brighton”
If you love a bit of swag, you’re going to have to sign up on rocks and join the party that is going to be the Echo Brighton anomaly. Don’t leave it too late and risk missing out on ordering the goodies!

Whether you’re an anomaly veteran or a new player wondering what it’s like to play alongside hundreds of others, come join us for a rockin’ Enlightened Echo anomaly on Saturday 20th May, 2023. Brighton is just a short hop from London or the Channel ports, with lots of choices for accommodation in Brighton and the surrounding areas.
It’s time to move… to the wonderful seaside city of Brighton!
Brighton is famous for the Royal Pavilion, the Palace pier, its vibrant arts scene, quirky shopping areas, the UK’s first public naturist beach and, of course, as the “unofficial gay capital of the UK”. You can see why it’s been called the UK’s hippest city.
Join us on Saturday 20th May for the Brighton Echo anomaly. Book your travel early to get the best deals!
_Machina_ (and the Resistance) proved no match for an intrepid group of agents from Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness who were determined to create this gorgeous set of fields in the middle of the day.
The main layers were 1.4m MU with supporting layers in Peterhead of 140k. In total, agents threw 15.9m MU of fields with agents douglasfirtree and brelmarcus gained their platinum and onyx illuminator badges respectively.
Welcome to the first of, hopefully, many Stoke Blankets!
A crack team of agents came together to throw 23 layers over Stoke, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding areas. The team threw a total of over 22m mu from 8 throws of the field-set and, in spite the last minute arrival of the local opposition, the fields all made checkpoint. In fact, several checkpoints!
Agents 40079, BigBadMoo, KernowBoy, Laughingwater, mcwebtree, Tomarse, and VanyelAshkevron cleared, farmed keys, threw fields, provided intel and did a bit of Resistance distraction along the way. KernowBoy gained platinum illuminator with some excellent fielding.
And a Brucie bonus of helping Enlightened to a first win in a while of the septicycle for NR02-JULIET-13!
Congratulations to the Enlightened in NR02-JULIET-12 on a fantastic effort for the Superposition Connected Cell challenge, winning 9 out of the 10 possible points for the Enlightened and extending their winning streak into 182 consecutive septicycles!
The prior septicycle closed with both teams posting historically low scores to set the best baseline to work from. The scoring septicyle opened with a lot of activity from both factions through the first few checkpoints. Many local layered fields were thrown up and many were smashed in a frenzy of activity.
Enlightened then pulled ahead convincingly with a huge multi-layered field over Nottingham. The size of the field also skewed the scanner scoring scale for the rest of the septicycle. The team never really looked back after that, winning every checkpoint, although there were some nervy moments.
There was still plenty of nip and tuck in the remainder of the septicycle with both sides sniping down large multi-layered fields just moments before checkpoints. Sheffield was covered twice. Wetherby, Worksop, Hull, Doncaster, Grimbsy, Cleethorpes, Chesterfield, Mansfield and Lincoln were also covered, some locations repeatedly. A lone agent diligently worked night after night to frustrate most of the Resistance fielding in Derby. All in all, over 128m MU hit a checkpoint during the septicycle, but even more than that was put up in an effort to ensure as big a winning margin as possible.
Many miles were covered (have you seen the price of fuel?). People sneaked out of houses before families were awake and skulked back in after they were asleep. Some agents even managed to help with the Connected Cell while also participating in the Munich anomaly. Between the fielding, there was also time for a social to play (and score of course!) some rare battle beacons for the Superposition badge.
The team had a blast. You could too!
The final weekend of Superposition runs from 11:00 UTC on Friday, 26th August 2022 to 11:00 UTC on Monday 29th August. Help us win by deploying and winning rare battle beacons in that window.
Sad you missed out on Munich? Or did you attend and want some more? The next shard/rare battle beacon sites in Europe are on Sunday 28th August in Seville and Warsaw. It’s a great opportunity to visit some more fabulous European cities with friends!
The nearest connected cell is in the Netherlands (NR02-HOTEL-02) running to Wednesday, 31st August. As well as going to the Netherlands, perhaps you can help on the east coast of England. Reach out to your local communities to see what you can do!

Agents throwing fields, clearing, watching the map, farming for kit and keys, staying sober for a week in case they were needed (!), eating cake and cheering others on…
