I was hoping to see what way Google Maps decided to take me down there on the Friday, but checked the files yesterday and the dashcam never picked up a GPS signal from Holyhead! It was fine all the way to Dublin. Even the GPS signal on the Saturday is way off, which I was hoping to use.

This is an issue with the heated windscreen, and yet my 10 year old Chinese cheapie that I just replaced had no issues.

Default Thanks for all your kind words

It was a pleasure to help with this 2024 meet, and lovely to have the opportunity to get to know Jim and Christing better.

The Vulcan was our shield.

Somewhat quicker than last years photo montage. I cheated and used the same template I made last year.

The dashcam footage is around 25 and 50 minutes for the Saturday run, so might do two versions of them. Not looked at the 360 stuff yet (other than to check the photos on the Saturday night), but I got it thoroughly drenched going through Wales on the Sunday. It's been in the hotpress for a week.
