Omm 2009

[molehill]

Missus and I are on the early registration from 2 - 7ish Friday evening, not sure where after that (pub). Look us up anyone arriving then.

That's all change, not on registration now. Unsure sure what we are doing but be somewhere.

Will you be my cuban mule??

Well that's my OMM packing finished, & I shall be heading off south on Wednesday night. A week camping and birdwatching on Lundy, with the odd training run thrown in, then straight to Builth. The weather's looking good this week, as least. See you all there

Just lulling us into a false sense of security

If you weren't carrying so many cigars and single malts, you'd have your pack weight down to 5kg's.
Yes I will carry the Cubans - they will be safe with me .

Sounds different - not sure where you're going to find a fresh lime in the howling wastes of Elan!

Cuban Mule Bacardi with fresh Lime, a dash of Angostura bitters and topped with Ginger Ale

I'm doing the omm for the first time this year (done others but not this one) what I don't understand is that the info says that they give you a map that already has the checkpoints and the straight line course marked on it, but then it talks about marking up your map - what's to mark up? And what happens on Sunday? Do you get the checkpoint grid refs on a bit of paper like in the lamm?

I have my little bag all packed too - no cigars or cocktails though!

Not sure what the 'marking up' bit is - there's nothing to mark up. You get a second map on the Sunday, also pre-printed with the controls.

Thanks, I can now jettison the map pen for a tiny pencil stub

First one to touch PBITMON is the winner!!
