Am on my way...... Am currently in the Starbucks at Leicester Forest East Services, between J21 & 21a of the M1. A most interesting Service Station, sandwiched between two of the most fascinating Motorway Junctions in the East Midlands. More of this exciting news will follow. Much more. Posted by Tikay10
It is a difficult service station to exit. In an HGV trying to build up speed and having to cross both an exit slip then join the main carriageway causes dangerous situations for the HGV and oncoming traffic, some speeding up others slowing down. Then you always have the idiots that remain in the outside lane of the M1 until the last possible moment then try to join the off ramp causing those behind braking hard, thus creating a tailback of other braking cars. I never used that service stn, I came of at jct 18 for crick, and at the roundabout took the rugby exit, travel 1/2 mile into the truck stop. Clean, cheap, good food, with showers and parking for 100s. There are many such places all over the UK but im sure you know them, if not ill willingly help HUGS ALSO FOR YOUR INTEREST JUCTION 18 IS WHERE THE BAKERS DOG FOOD IS TINNED AND you may see a ring of pylons on the left if your northbound, these are the transmitters for UK submarines
You have to use a tinsy winsy Memory Card, less than the size of a fingernail.
Then, to extract the photos, you need to remove it from the camera, & insert it into the PC slot.
So they give you a normal sized Memory Card to use as an "adaptor".
You slot BOTH cards into the PC slot, download the photos, boomio.
All good so far then, & I downloaded a test photo.
Now we are up & running, lets go take some more photos.
First, we need that tiny Memory Card from the PC Slot, so we press the Big Memory Card & it pops out. But the tinsy one has not come back out, & is presumably stuck in there. The slot is mega thin, & I can't see in it, or poke anything in it to ease out the mini memory card.
And no, the camera will not take photos without a memory card in it.
All going well here then.
Might go get a coffee to calm myself down, then go get some chip counts.
I have images of Tikay being covered by camera film at this present point in time. And there's no film in that camera. Posted by TommyD
I'm surrounded by discarded Memory Card shrink-wrap boxes, cables, batteries, & Lord knows what else. Oh, & 2 cameras, neither of which I can persuade to function.
Cracking pics so far.....even though, apart from CTBN, I don't recognise many of the players yet. So are Sky/DTD looking for 200+ players per day for this or relying on a massive turnout on the Saturday? Posted by MAXALLY
No, the Targets are.....
Today - 100
Friday - 200
Saturday - 300.
Just had a long chat with Rob Yong, & he's convinced if we meet today & tomorrow's Target, 300 on Saturday will be easy.

TESTING TESTING, can you hear me Mother?

OK, we might be making progress here.
Groundbreaking stuff, this.

Honestly, you could not make this up.
