Wonder if anyone can shed any light on what looked like an MBO event around Settle today. It might not have been that, but I don’t know what else would result in pairs of MTBs haring around with what looked like OS maps on map boards.

Nothing on the BMBO web site that I can see. So maybe it was something else – but what?

Thanks! I’d vaguely heard of those, but never looked up in any detail. Now I’m also running a bit, maybe it would be worth trying.

Yep, open5 event as stated above. Was a great day out, although a bit surprising starting the race in sunshine and ending it with 2 inches of snow on the ground! Was a bit chilly on the tops towards the end, proper blizzard conditions up there by 3pm!
