So, once again it's been a while since the last post on here. In that time, I've been a little busy. Here's the updates, anyway:
- so firstly, I'll not be accompanied by Vince. Circumstances have arisen which means he can't make it this year (gutting).
- secondly, though Vince isn't really replaceable, I have arranged another co-driver, David, one of the Skegness Mini Owner's Club. Still not sure he knows what he's let himself in for...
- thirdly, 3dtracking.net have apparently stopped supporting the free version of their GPS tracking app. Or at least, the lack of responses to emails, and the 404 errors every time the app updates the location suggest that they've stopped supporting it...
- fourthly, I've written my own app for Android (as that's what my phone's now based on) so wheresdennis.co.uk will (should hopefully) still be updating our location on the trip
- fifthly, Dennis is now ready for the run, after a gearbox rebuild, replacement of much of the boot floor, replacement wheel bearings (and one of the MiniSport alloy hubs, which cracked *before* the wheel bearings were removed, not happy!)
- sixthly, the route's slightly different this year because we're no doing Leeds - LEJOG - Leeds, we're doing Skegness - LEJOG - Skegness, which is going to put another 100+ miles on the trip.
- seventhly, because of the change of start/end point, our website is now www.criMINIlly-insane.co.uk, reflecting the fact that we're in a Mini, and we must be mad to be adding even more miles on. And yes, we're still aiming for less than 50 miles of motorway for the whole route. You can visit it now, but it's still WIP...
- eighthly, this is getting daft, but leeds-lejog-leeds.org.uk *will* still work, it'll just be pointing to criMINIlly-insane.co.uk instead 8-)
- ninthly, the virginmoneygiving.com page will soon be active too...
Er, and that's about it for now...
