    Should be a fairly brisk run where pathing allows then, double chimney Castle, light load, flat route and mr Chuchill on the regulator.

    As a comparison with the Nunney Castle tour on 26th July '08, the timings vary considerably. The same route but today The Earl will call additionally at Banbury. As an example of the outward timings:
    Solihull to Hinksey N: 62 mins on 26/7, 104 mins today.

    Hinksey N to Bristol TM: 85 mins on 26/7, 111 mins today.

    Not as tight a schedule but certainly not hanging around. <BJ>

    Racing past Rowington this morning: http://david1984.fotopic.net/p57157013.html

    Always seem to lose a bit of quality when fotopic resizes it compared with the original on my computer, anyone know how to stop Fotopic losing quality ?.

    Problems at Oxford. I've been advised that it's serious.
    Perhaps others in the know will give an update. <BJ>

    Many thanks for the update - was just about to go see her through Sydney Gardens!

    Sounds pretty ominous. Anyone able to give any further updates?

    In the end we decided not to go out and see this because of the weather (My Dad and cold weather don't get on well since he has had heart problems). I hope the problem with 5043 isn't too serious. We wll hopefully be out that way next weekend though for the run with 5029+70013 and D1015.

    What size pics do you post to fotopic? I resize originals to 24 cm x 17 cm and 28 pixels/cm. Fotopic does further resizing though.

    Managed to see the Earl at Oxford before the failure. I too hope it is nothing to drastic.
    Bit of a video now on youtube, see my signature.
    If you were one of the few waiting near Baulking, nice to have met you :)

    Oh dear, sounds like it's working off just one side. :( Hope things aren't too bad, a crying shame after all the work that's been done.

    Sad news about 5043. Hope she can be fixed and ready to flatten Shap in the summer!

    Saw the Bristolian near Banbury http://rickeborallphotography.fotopic.n ... 68534.html

    Try optimizing for the web in photoshop applications. The size of your pics looks ok. Or allow original photo to be shown in fotopic. Its not compressed as much that way!
    Set the size to be displayed to large or largest in fotopic that may help. If all else fails contact fotopic and complain. If enough of us do that it may prompt them into doing something about the problem!!
