Goodwood

1st night impressions from Goodwood?

Not bad, although the pitches are pretty tight - 9m deep by 7m wide, plenty of room for an average sized caravan, car, and a bit of space between. Definitely not separated by 6 metres, as the Caravan Club and the Camping Club require.

People chatting away around their tents until probably around midnight, but there's nothing you can do about that - not everyone dives into their pits by 10.30, like I do!

We just had brekkie, so it's off to the races ina mo . . let's see what it's all about!

Catching up (slowly!)

One of the problems with doing what I do is that when you're away, stuff doesn't get done - so you have to do it when you get back!

However, things are now rather easier as I can now carry elements of our editing system with me on a laptop. This seems to work quite well, and last week, while in the caravan, I did a lot of filming and was able to capture it to hard disc and have now put a programme together using it. There were a couple of little glitches, but nothing to worry about.

However, one experiment I don't think I'll be repeating is the video upload from sites, etc. It really is very demanding in terms of time and effort, and the interest level on YouTube really hasn't been enough to justify the amount of work involved.

Interesting thing to try, though.
