Back from the Alps and we have got 72 (online & email) entries for Saturday. I have extended online entries at http://www.bmbo.org.uk until midnight tonight (Wednesday) in case you still want to enter. Alternatively you can send an email or just enter on the day as we can print extra maps if necessary. It’s a great forecast for the next few days so the tracks should dry out again nicely. It’s a brilliant area and I’m looking forward to putting out the controls (with help from 3 mates) on Friday. Hope to see you there.
As a newbie to MBO – not done any before – I’m interested but can’t find start time details for the Swaledale event tomorrow. I’ve got a suitable bike and can find my way round an orienteering course. If I turn up at the right time will anyone be able to lend me a map board for the handlebars? If not I’ll treat it like a day out and rely on the map in pocket and commit to memory method.
Hi Jim
The wind was a bit harsh and made time management difficult, but the ground had dried out fairly well and it was a good day out. I’ll be back with a map board and a better understanding of speed on grass versus speed on tarmac. Thanks to the organisers.

Ian, I hope you made it to the event – did you enjoy it (despite the wind)?

Sorry not not a spare map board. DIY ones are easy to knock up. Still using the one I made at start of last year.
