Just found out I can't do the OMM this year as I will be in Oz for most of October. Shame, but there we go 😉
What else of this ilk is there between Nov and Feb? Preferably in the UK but Ireland considered too. A navigation/orienteering element would also be prefered and if it can be done in pairs/teams that would be ideal.

I might be doing this myself with a mate, depends on if his other partner recovers from injury in time

The Spine Race - [url= http://thespinerace.com ]http://thespinerace.com[/url] - mate has done the first two and it's hard... There's also a shorter Challenger version which goes from Edale to Hawes.

Nice one guys.
That second one of yours is looking good Keith, I'll have a word with my team-mate. (Had to let her down as I can't do the OMM which she wanted to do, need to find a replacement event!)
.
The Spine also looks good, but might need to build up to that...
.
Had a look at your links surfer, not very serchable but I did find The Piece of String. That could be a solo effort at some point.

I did Dark Mountains this year. Epic race - probably the worst conditions that I have ever raced in. 20% of linear course teams finished and only 50% of score course teams. I loved it, but highly recommend that you practice some night nav first....!

You could also look at the LDWA site some of the paths look fun days out. I ran the 27 miles (a bit added on) from Delamere to Frodsham a few weeks ago as a recce for the Sandstone trail. Havent got around to doing the full thing yet.
