 Another
heads-up for the Ordnance Survey Outdoors Show at the NEC
which is a mere two weeks off now and with two new speakers confirmed
as well.
Added to the already impressive roster are Charley Boorman, who
starred in 'Long Way Round' with Ewan McSponsored Product Placement
and Jake Meyer, the youngest Brit to summit Everest aged just 21
years.
The pair are part of a castof speakers which include bearded actor
and explorer BRIAN BLESSED, Sir Chris Bonington, Sir Ralph Fiennes,
OBE recipient Alan Hinkes and, recent, MBE recipient Fiona
Thornewill.
Visitors' will also be able to see Ben Fogle's and James
Cracknell's Woodvale Pairs boat from their Atlantic Race, hopefully
without its naked crew...
Other show features for 2006 include, Ordnance Survey In Action,
the return of the popular Tent City and Camping Extravaganza, The
North Face Bouldering World Cup in association with the BMC, Outdoor
Woman, Explore Britain with Millets and The Perfect Spot with
Regatta.

OUTDOORSmagic Meet At The Show
If you're at the NEC on the Saturday, a group of OMers are
planning an informal get together over a quick pint, see the forum
thread linked below for full details.
Discuss this story
With the show just over 2 weeks away, shall we have a meet at the show again this year? If there's enough of us perhaps we can hold Cameron and Jon down and relieve them of the weight from their wallet for some beer coupons.
