Moley's conspiracy theory.
It's not over the Elenith at all. The Epynt instead, the Elan valley thing is just to throw everyone off the scent ;). Wouldn't want anyone doing secret recces over the Epynt - end up shot:eek:.

I have a Suunto Vector for sale. The altimeter function is very useful for MM's and as it's not a GPS it is allowed on these events.
See the Sales and Wants thread for further info.
Thanks
The OMM management have clarified the sleeping bag situation. They acknowledge the widely varying 'standards' used by manufacturers and have come up with a pragmatic solution. Down bags must weigh at least 400g and synthetic bags at least 800g. Nice a clear. Mindyou, that hasn't stopped some nit-pickers having a go on the OMM forum. What is it with these naval gazers!!:rolleyes:
Anyway, my karrimor synthetic bag is 900g so should pass scrutiny:). Comes in a 1100 with the stuff sac mind!:mad:
The sleeping bag conundrum now seems pretty sorted to me, all makes sense. Problem is, some of them are so obsessed, I think they now fail to differentiate between "fast and light" and "bleedin' stupid". Wanting to sleep in a bag liner, in mountains, in October :rolleyes:?
The mind does boggle! I think some people just get vicarious pleasure from pushing rules as far as they can. I remember a high profile fell runner from many years ago who used to take full body cover from an Action Man outfit in his bumbag. His argument was that the rules didn't state which body just a body:rolleyes:.
Now. Next conundrum. Food! What works best over this time period? I've bought a spork so I'm off to a good start!:D
Wheeze, not many calories in a spork!
I'm bringing pork pies.
My partner has had to pull out last minute and he was the nav specialist ,does anybody want to join me for the b class or could drop to c...?
