The Outdoors Station episodes

October 31, 2008 No 246 - OMM Part 1 - Through The Eye Of The Storm
Extended podcast. This is part one of two podcasts which follow the recent OMM event in Cumbria. In this section we record the event itself, sharing our experience and those of others, as we all battle against the weather conditions. Rain finally stopped play and general flooding stopped the fun, so we record our thoughts and review the gear used, to see if it performed as it should. (Part two looks at the media storm reviewing the facts and the fiction)

October 24, 2008 No 245 - Pre OMM Gear Check
The final preparations and gear check before Rose and I set off north to Cumbria for the OMM Mountain Marathon. The forecast isn't good, with 2 inches of rain and 60 mph winds on the first day of the event. Should make for an interesting podcast and gear test review!!
