Essex/Herts Laning day 26th February

[wideformat]

Brakes now fixed, it's amazing how much a clean and brush up works along with flushing the old treacle out of the brake lines and replacing it with some new fluid.
So I'm now ready for Sunday, I don't know the area very well so if anyone has their CB on around 9.00 to 9.30ish I may need some direction

[fudge]

i am now looking forward to it.
i am now a very strong poss.

and anyone fancy looking at violets lane once the day is over?

[hipo1024]

Yeah im up for violets lane! as long as it isnt too deep, wouldnt of thought it would be tho

[BadBoy]

Violets lane is a ford 1100yard (1KM) long. Reported to be the longest ford in Europe.
At this time of year it is normally be impassable (unless your in a boat or very brave), but due to the lack of rain it's currently running at about 2-3' at the deepest parts.

If people want I can make it the last lane of the day. For those not wanting to do it there will be an alternative route

[hipo1024]

DO IT!

[fudge]

defo add it on
we will send dan in first and if he gets stuck i will pull him out. as i aam getting used to it now

[Retro Pedro]

Anybody got a tow rope that is 1km long

[gregster]

Yep, well nearly....you remember my "incredibly long rope" Pete...I have a longer one too as well!

[hipo1024]

Yeah thx for that...GITS i wont get stuck once! Plus ive done alot of the lanes around saffron walden so i have that advantage

[fudge]

No it wont be once
Will defo be more than once
Like when i pulled you out of the snow, twice stuck wasnt it

[hipo1024]

I didnt get stuck twice, i just stoped in a dip and couldnt get moving again lol

[BadBoy]

If anyone has a working CB I can borrow for the day (or want to sell) can they please bring it as the one I have fitted is still fubar.

[hipo1024]

I have 2 spare, but they both need mics. Ill bring then with me and hope ur mic fits one of them

[BadBoy]

Think my problem is the mic too

[fudge]

Rob you just paste the file into the folder you have told mm to come from
Mine worked ok

[BadBoy]

Can you guys tell me how to add the routes to Android please either MM or the other one???

Which program are you running on android. Official MM or MM Tracker?
If it's mm tracker press phones menu button. Press settings, press directories, press route directry.
If this is set you need to put the .gpx file I sent you into this directory using your file manager. The .mmo file only works in MM

Give me a call if your still having problems, and thanks for the CB.

[BadBoy]

Rob,
So not to go too off topic have a look here http://sites.google.com/site/mmtrackerinfo/

MM Tracker

Create directories for maps, tracks, routes and waypoints on your SD-card, using e.g. "ASTRO-filemanager" or the PC when connected to.
Copy your QCT maps to the created map directory
When you first start MM Tracker it will indicate that several directories are not defined. Confirm this message with OK
Now MM Tracker will open the settings dialog. Please select all four directories for maps, tracks, routes and waypoints which you created before in step (1).
If you press the "BACK" button of your device, MM Tracker will give you a black screen with the message "No map loaded"
Now you can load maps by pressing the "MENU" button and select "load map". MM Tracker will jump directly to the previously defined map directory and let you browse your maps

Now you should be able to basically load and use your maps.

Do the same for routes

if we can please

[hipo1024]

if you need to swap....can I borrow some1s? lol
