Thanks fenjer that is what I meant.
It's been a long time since I posted a photo on here.

Camera will be handed over on Friday, had to have a "rain check" yesterday with Nobby, sorry, things changed my end.
Friday will happen no matter what, I can't do it sooner because of work commitments but once it is out there it should flow a bit better as people can arrange between themselves.

Re the posting of images, the latest suggestion is e-mailing them to an email address that has been created for this project and then Stuuk1 or myself will post them to a hosting account and send you the links back so that everyones post should be consistent. It also means everyone can post their own images so that their avatar and username are associated with the pictures they took (and should make it as simple as possible for everyone getting the camera)
It will also give a single link to browse the entire gallery which would be beneficial also.

Is everyone OK with e-mailing or do we have any other suggestions? (of course if anyone is struggling they can hand the camera over and ask the next person to send their pictures in.

Same here!

sorry if this has been posted before but what route will the camera be travelling? Assuming its 5days per person and there is approx 49 peeps then I imagine it will be about a year before number 49 gets it? or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

That will no doubt get delayed too... No rush after all, everyone will get their turn eventually. Once it gets around a few people and we have the picture thread up and running it should be interesting!

I've thought about it and have absolutely no idea what I'd take a picture of anyway.

Me neither so you are safe, It'll be something public like photobucket for posting in the thread.

Yep, it could be out there for some time I'm afraid, but on the plus side, it will mean some people get nicer weather to exchange it I'm sure some will be done with it quicker but there needs to be a "reasonable" time frame for having it, playing with it, taking your pictures and then handing it on to the next person.

I'm happy with emailing pics will be easier for me.

Right! the game is afoot! I've handed the camera over to (a very patient and accommodating) Mark (NobbyLad).

I'd been rubbish, I hadn't got a working bike (bat flattery, doh!) and I hadn't even taken my pictures!

Anyway, camera is now out in the wild, I'll let Mark work out what to do about selecting the next user, either his choice or posting to let people propose a meet up.

One other thing that came out of it was if you are handing over the camera in person then a 6th picture is allowed, one of the meeting orgers.

Thanks for all the support and enthusiasm, I'll get the map updated (and corrected where appropriate) this weekend.
