ONLY a 512 - my digital SLR only has 4mb (yes 4mb) - so I'll leave the stills camera at home and concentrate on the handicam.

I'll be bring my laptop too, but only to offer a little greenlaning/offroad championship video entertainment during Saturday evening (full screen quality rather than the samples I've posted at lower resolution).

Lawrence


it takes pics at 1600x1200 if thats any use

Bring Cams,Camcorders or whatever.
We'll do our best to get them added to the DVD or a Full-Thread Report
Whatever Format or Size Images..I can Convert & resize
Whatever Format or Size Videos .. I can Convert Formats & Pass across to Lawrence.


Carl, Try setting your Cam to take Smaller Piccies and you'll find you can Treble your Capacity..
My Cam's 6yrs Old & I can get 200+ on a 64Mb Flash Card.

If anyone has Cams which use the SD Card I can transfer Straight to my Laptop. (Wonder if the Pub'll let us use Power-Points in the Room??) I'll ask

Well, I'm going to bed now - I've left them all in a cold foggy field, with beer in their bellies to warm them :)

Looks like we might attack the Great Alne ford on the way to the P&P site, so hopefully no one will sink!

Thank you for posting on the Midlands P&P Thread. We're sorry but we're a bit hung over at the moment. We'll post back once we've had caffine and bacon butties.

I'm home too :lol: What a day!!! thanks again to the organisers. Can't wait to do it again and my fronty is still in one piece, well, more or less...lol.

Dispite my best efforts I only got stuck twice, Thanks to Andy and Lawrence respectively for the yank out. Highlight of the day was dragging the beached Nissan Patrol free :twisted:

Just trying to edit a bit of video. will finally open a putfile account so I can link to it properly...watch this space :?

Another one back safe and sound (but slightly knacked)

To all those who got involved with organisation: :clap:

To all those who took part :clap:

To all those who had "isues", but over came them and carried on :clap:


A cracking social weekend, helped possibly by the sun tanning weather this afternoon. A good mix of vehicles and ability and some excellent examples of camrardarie, not just amongst ourselves, but with of 4x4's as well.

I'll be back in a bit after a scoot through the vid(s)

PS - the Steak, boiled potatoes and green s@*#% was excellent

Lawrence,
As I said without Yours and Andys' Help this wouldn't have happened!
I edited your post!! :twisted:
Thank You

OK, I didn't get stuck but I've got some nice damage and about an extra ton in weight from that mud/clay.

My Thanks to Everyone who Signed up and Came along.
It was less than the Amount of People who had signed up and I wish I could Say that they won't do it again but I think they will!
It was a great day and yes, I topped my tan up a bit more.

I think We'll definatly look at going again (Once I've fixed my Fronty)
and maybe sort out Bigger Attendance.
That's an Ideal CampSite although no Electrical Hook-ups is a drawback, We made do with what we had.

Yet again, my Thanks to everyone who came along, it was a blinding weekend
