Contour HD
Posted on January 4th, 2010 by Dingbat
I ordered this camera from what I thought was a UK based company but it turns out that it was based in the States… never mind. They shipped it via DHL and I tracked it right to the front door but was very disappointed to find that instead of the Contour HD 1080p they had sent me the Contour HD 720p, which was about £40 cheaper… not happy. It was a this point that I found out via various forums that Crazy Camera were well known for this and I should be lucky that I got any camera at all. I’ve emailed and left voice mails but nothing heard as yet…
Anyway, the camera itself is very good, 720p is crystal and since updating the firmware in the camera the picture is even better.
Here is some video of me and Francesca on our sledge at the Town Moor in Newcastle.
2010 Winter Conference
Posted on November 26th, 2009 by Dingbat
Having spent the last couple of years in Chamonix staying at Sean’s apartment (friend from work), we decided this year to try somewhere different. First choice was Canada but it all looked a bit expensive what with the Winter Olympics on and all; so it was back to Europe. France, Austria or Italy were all up for consideration but we found a very good deal in Meribel and because there were 8 of us going it only worked out at £222 each for the chalet, in total, including flights and lift pass, transfer etc it came to around £550 each.
The chalet we have booked sleeps more than the number that are going but because no-one really wants to share a double bed we’ve limited it to 8 and everyone has there own bed, which is good.
Flight booked for end of January, staying for a week, Saturday to Saturday.
