2 days, 85km, 3500m+ ascent and no GPS. We took on the OMM!

James and Mark headed to Cumbria to take on the Original Mountain Marathon (OMM), a legendary two-day race across the rugged and beautiful Lake District.

Carrying everything they needed to survive, they faced brutal terrain, navigational challenges, and their own physical limits.
