OMM Latest
Welcome to the 41st OMM taking place on 25/26th October 2008.
Location: Northern England
This is the premier UK event to test teamwork, self-reliance, endurance, outdoor and navigational skills.
The reputation of the event is worldwide and every year we have entrants from between 12-14 countries.
The ethos of the event is to be totally self-reliant, in the wilds, carrying all equipment, no outside support and without GPS or cell phone. Your first source of help is your partner and if you retire you are responsible for getting yourselves back to base. Any teams not arriving at the overnight camp are assumed to have camped safely. In these days of 24/7 contact and total support this is an event to test and indeed help develop teamwork and self-reliance.

Waist Pouch 3L
At last a lightweight waist pouch which is comfortable for long runs. Use alone, or team up with a shorter back length pack. New for Octobr 07 is the elastic compressor.

Simple compression elastic to maintain stability, and allow clothing to be carried on top of the pouch.
Our 40th event in the Lowther Hills Scotland, which were surprisingly steep.
No birthday cake, no champagne, just great courses, good organisation and one of the toughest overnight camps ever.
