Anyone doing the OMM next weekend?

Post by Retiredtester »

I started a similar thread this time last year and it all went a bit tits up... Anyone carried their entry over from last year's blow out? The last one I did was about 14 years ago and I'm making a very ill advised return to the long score with my bro. We plan on very much making up the numbers.

I'm there. Long score. Final bag weigh in yesterday at 4.7kg. Looking forward to it.

Weather is "interesting". We and windy up until Friday then warm overnight at midcamp, 13 degrees warm.

I'm planning on being wet and warm all day Saturday, then wearing everything and ditching it into my bag as the day progresses on Sunday!

Nice one. Daren't weigh my bag and haven't even tried it on since breaking my collarbone a couple of months ago. I'd definitely take wet, windy and warm over cold. Hope you have a good one!

Not this time. My entry rolled over for 2 years but I just don't feel the love for fell running at the moment. Hopefully it'll return in time but for now, I accepted OMM vouchers as a refund. Just need to spend them :-bd

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!

Thanks! I dare say I'll not be feeling the love this time next week.

Well that certainly was type 2 fun.

We had a bit of a slow weekend as my partners legs refused to work as planned. Still had a good time and got round in the top half of the long score.

Weather was... interesting.

Good effort Greg. The official OMM footage certainly showed what appeared to be a tough conditions.

Well done Greg. I saw your result and was very impressed. We did ok for two blokes who haven't done any running or map reading for 12 years. Really enjoyed it though - the currently nsane DOMS less so.
