[Charliecat5]

I biked the Moyleman on Saturday with a GoPro strapped to my handle bars taking a photo every second. The ride was harsh, particularly as I ran out of camera memory at one point and had to ring home for more... which resulted in a couple of extra miles to meet the courier at an agreed rendezvous point. 26 miles in 3.5 hours and 3,000ft of climbing (not including the extra 2 miles)... that's the Moyleman for you!

But that is nothing compared to the angst I have had since, trying to turn 14,000 photos into a timelaspe video. They are all transferred over into my video editing software... but do you know how long it takes to render 14,000 photos? ALL DAY... AND WITH ONE HOUR LEFT TO GO, MY LAPTOP RUNS OUT OF MEMORY; SO WHAT DOES IT DO... I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IT FLIPPIN' DOES... IT CLOSES DOWN THE VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE SO I HAVE TO START AGAIN!

So in a right grump I set out for a little constitutional this evening, hitting my routine 3 miler at quite a pace... I reet flew up Sweder's Hill, powered by a days worth of pent up frustrations. I should have gone further really, but was reluctant to leave my rendering for that long.

Anyway, I have now copied the photos to an external drive and will drop them into a professional (and good friend of the Moyleman) later in the week. Cheers James!

Onwards and upwards.
