If I can get the camera within the next week & 1/2 I can take the camera with me to Madeira and take it to 5965ft on Pico do Arieiro... There wont be a bike involved mind you...

Me and Mrs Jambo had our honeymoon on Madeira and rode up the mountain on an (admittedly struggling to maintain pace) XR125. On 2nd thoughts...

Just waiting to collect the camera!!! Blooming Royal Mail charging me tax on it even though its a gift. Thanks to Bill for his help with this.
I'll be as quick as I can to get my pics and keep the camera on the move!

Ha! They probably have my name on file somewhere and said, 'hey this bloke has sent a boat load of packages to the UK and no one's ever paid a pence'.
So can't complain too much, just sorry it held up the camera.

Once upon a time.....
There was an org camera.
It's no fairy tale.
Really, I have seen it myself.
It does exist!

I've seen a picture of the org camera, but I'm sure it's just a scene with a generic camera 'PhotoShopped' on it! Seeing is believing (as they say) ;)

I'll get someone with her number to give her a call.

How hard is it to take a few pics and send the camera on it's way to someone else? :rolleyes:
Woah! No need for that! Really sorry but life got in the way.
I'll give it to James. Not taken any pics. Haven't had the time.

Waiting on James being free to collect it
So take a walk around your village (or town) and take a few pics while you're waiting.
Take it with you to work tomorrow.
Doesn't have be Buckingham Palace. Sometimes the ordinary is just as beautiful.
You only need 4 pics and one of you.
It'll be good to see some of this 45 degree rain that Scottish people talk about. A couple of pics of your local area & the weather would be good (& of course, 1 of you MBK) ;)

Does that mean you've eaten half the total number of Rolos in the pack, or you've half-eaten every Rolo in the pack. Knowing this will surely impact others bids.

Perhaps so, if no one wants to pick it up from James I'll gladly pay for postage back to me as I need to put the charger and batteries that garynortheast kindly contributed (didn't send it over to the US as it wouldn't fit the plug and would've doubled the postage) back with it to be passed on. If it comes back I'll offer it out again but would Likely be best to head to London over the winter weather (I'm sure there will be some along shortly and newspapers to paint the grimmest picture possible)
I'm amazed the idea was as popular as it has been already to be honest, been really interesting to have those that have contributed so far :-)

c'mon James. biking season is just about to start.
if it's a nice sunday in a few weeks i'll come down and pick it up, how does that sound...
I did offer. Doesn't even need to be a nice weekend TBH.
JamesMio
26-03-14, 12:03 PM
Yo yo!! I'm ALIVE!!!
Sorry folks, it's been nowt short of bl**dy chaos down here lately, and I've hardly had the spare time for a sly, recreational fart, let alone get out on the bike for a jolly.
Tam / Bibs - if you're out n about on Sunday, I'll be loitering around the Buccleuch Arms Hotel in Moffat (http://www.motogoloco.com/buccleuch-arms-hotel-ac-66-a-22) while the Breast Way Round girls descend...
I could certainly bring the camera up with me for that if either of you (or anyone else for that matter) were looking for an excuse for a run and a burger?
What kind of time will you be there? I'm planning on having a fairly epic hangover on Sunday.
JamesMio
26-03-14, 12:13 PM
They're due at the Bucc from about 12:30, so I'll probably be there for an hour or so then... I could always leave the camera with one of the guys at the hotel, if that's any better?
Sounds like a winner. If I behave myself on Saturday (as planned) I'll see you there. If I get totally pished (fairly likely) I'll pick it up at the hotel a bit later on.
How about I text you on Sunday morning once I've assessed my condition?
JamesMio
26-03-14, 04:07 PM
Sounds like a plan dude - have you still got my number? I'll PM you it now just in case. If I've gone by the time you're there, just ask for Clint or Polly - and I'll make sure whichever is about knows.
JamesMio
30-03-14, 06:23 PM
And we're off again!! Managed to meet up with not one, but TWO orders today and I can confirm the OTAL Cam is back on the move once more!
Cheers to Tam for nipping up/down/over for it, hope your run home was as pleasant as mine?! ;)
Aye was an excellent run.
I've e-mailed your pics to the gmail address from the picture thread.
Now I'll need to think what I'm going to do with it. Got a good handover pic already. :)
JamesMio
31-03-14, 02:07 PM
Umm, I've not got them... any chance you could re-send them over, please?
I'll PM you a better email address!
Cheers
No you wouldn't have got them. There's a central e-mail address set up so Brettus can upload all the pics to a photobucket account. You then get sent the links to post up in the picture thread.
I think...
Brettus
31-03-14, 06:51 PM

I've got my pics, so who's next?
I'm happy to take a bit of a trek out. Saturday's are usually best but could maybe manage a Sunday. I'm off this Friday/Monday so that could be a possibility.
Or I could stick it in the post...
