Just a few pics from the weekend's Outdoor Show at the NEC in Birmingham. Unfortunately an uncooperative virus prevented us from going, but we've had some good feedback from both exhibitors and visitors. Anyway, here are the photos, thanks to selfless OM member Alex Ford.
Wilderness experience? You want the Extreme Embroidery Show next door :-)

It's a meet-up Jim, but not as we know it :-) Assorted OM members somehow found
their way to the pub... Hard to believe we know.

Sprayway's indoor ice wall was back again, note heels raised too high on the left.
dropping them slightly would bring the second points into play and precent the
toe from levering the front points out of the ice... Ahem.

Lots of chances for hands-on action, we like the look of the comfy crash pads
come mattresses.

TGO's Cameron McNeish and Chris Townsend shamelessl plagiaring Backpacker
for their next issue. A propos of which, see the TGO pages

Bringing the outdoors indoors with adventure racing...

Top American mountaineer Conrad Anker spoke at the show on both
Saturday and Sunday.
