[theNoor]

Get in there!!!!! Pack weight: 5.4kg - beat that anyone?

EGOR - click on www.theomm.com click results 2008, there you can see each day's setup e.g. Long Score, Day 1: 29 checkpoints.

Egor asked
does anyone have any idea roughly how many compulsory cp there are, first time doing score for omm so not sure

As far as I'm aware - none. You get as many controls of your choice within the specified time

[egor]

i thght i read somewhere that there were going to be a few comp cp, might be wrong. pack weight without water is abt 5kg, cant fit owt else to sac so cldnt take owt else if wanted

Can vouch for weather in Borrowdale, just left this morning, storm force winds and heavy rain. Left my wife and club collegues to get on with it.
Think this link sums it up:

Mid way camp should be interesting

OMM?

OMG more like!

Apparently the event has now been cancelled.
Although I can't believe it was started in the 1st place.

Is the OMM still on? The statement saying it was cancelled was 'pulled'
whilst I was reading it and checking onto the site now there's no mention of the cancellation. Whilst I was reading it I wondered how they were going to inform everyone out there as I presume not many controls will be manned or have radio contact

Just watched the video of 'The End' from live coverage via Sleepmonsters link now video has totally disappeared off site
Don't know whether Big Brother's in action and censorship taking place. Must be a bit embarassing for the organiser's given the forecast and the weather leading up to the event.

I guess the only way you can inform competitiors is at the mid way camp which they should be arriving at shortly... unless they have been washed\blown away.
