Anyone know where the OMM might be this year? To be honest if anyone knows whether its in Scotland, England or wales that'd be a huge help!

Thanks in anticipation of loads of knowledgeable answers / responses telling me the information is somewhere obvious...

Isn't the point that you don't know a long time before

Yeah, just thinking about travel arrangements etc - country would be adequate!

Southern England was mentioned.

Yep, I took this to mean Dartmoor. Where else in Southern England could host it?

Anywhere with a big enough area of trackless, unrunnable heather and bog.

In one of the OMM reports, nit long after last year's had finished. It said there would be a reduction in the number of teams able to race as well. Too far south for me. I'll be back in 2017 hopefully.

The Omm Lite is going to be in the Cotswolds I think ??!!!

In reply to lummox:

The report I read said it was going to be in the south relative to last year's event, so south of the Borders.

Thanks for all your responses!

Not Scotland then?
Dartmoor makes sense - the park authority is keen to limit events of this kinds.

Unlikely to be Dartmoor, it's only 6 years since it was last there.

My money's on the Lake District...

Well that'd be perfect!

As said above, directly after 2015 OMM they said "it's a south year" then they changed it to "south of this years venue".

I don;t know if it's intentional or a copy-and-paste error, but the OMM website now says South West Scotland.
