Carnage Head, we use one of these:

Heavier than a hexiblock but worth it in bad weather unless you are going ultra light to try and win something.

But don't forget the matches if you have one of these...

No - the nut on top is to control the sticks that you are rubbing together.

[Jon Brooke]

You can see the OMM start lists now - quite a lot of orienteering names I recognise in the elite.

I find I frequently get to the event centre on Friday night and then suddenly realise that I've completely forgotten about training.

[madmike]

Yep that'll be the one Scott

Mmmm, just as well I noticed this - have train booked, hire car booked, booked Sunday night Travelodge (for return to South-east on Monday); but realised I have forgotton about Friday night! .
Could camp if it won't be too wet/cold ?

[Big Jon]

DaveK - don't worry its never cold/wet/windy/snowy in late October in the Scottish Highlands.........

[madmike]

I was getting excited about my entry for this, until I read the press release about the OMM area; the part where they use 'heather' and 'runnable' in the same sentence(??)

Yes but Big Jon will probably tell you Scottish heather is really runnable......... and it is.......for him!

[EddieH]

There's heather and there's heather. I defy ANYONE to run any distance through the heather along the south side of the east end of Loch Mullardoch - quite the deepest I have ever met.
