Wow Carl, that is a late crossing - you'll be arriving possibly on Sunday morning if you don't stop!
TVR (that me, Dan and Vermin) are setting off from Leeds at 6pm Friday, crossing from Dover at midnight. No stops, probably arriving in the first half of Saturday.

The worlds ?!?!
Speaking of traveling to the euros, well, its all buggered up now isnt it.. I can no longer take my lap top or cameras to vienna unless I hand them over to someone who is driving.
I had planned to take 2 bodies and 5 lenses on the plane in my camera bag with me but now aparently you cant take ANYTHING at all.
Laptop is cheap but my camera stuff isnt and I dont really know what to do. :(

Jimmy, you must get your camera stuff there somehow! :(
Will they let the spoon out of the country? Will Dan have to smuggle him out? Should we draw a full face beard on him? :o

Still trying to figure it out. I was listening to the radio a few minutes ago, some photographer saying how theres no way hes letting his cameras go in the hold. been looking for a suitable case but still I dont know if i would let my cameras go in the hold. Laptop - yeah who cares, but not mi cameras.
Yeah, they are not allowing any electrical components in hand luggage. You will be best PLEADING with your airline compnay to place your camera somewhere safe

nice way to treat jimmy after all the stuff he does for the rc community, eh :thumleft:
I'm sure jimmy is looking at all possibilies of getting his cameras to the euros, i think the effort he goes through to get to these events is 'worth' more than any fee !

Set the camera on timer and flash, so as it goes down, you can examine your innards roflol.....
Send them parcelfarce... oh, hang on, it would still be in customs in the UK by the time you get back!!!

I hope it all gets sorted for you all and you all get there safe and sound(with all equipment intact) I have quite a big carry case that you could borrow jimmy used to use it for my racing gear, It is padded inside and made of metal and I thing it can be locked.

Heard on the radio earlier that certain companys will not be charging people for going over the weight limit due to the no hand luggage situation. They adviced to contact the company you will be flying with to see if this will effect you or not.

Jim, If you're really struggling I can take something for you (leaving tomorrow at 6) will have to be small though as 3 people and 4 peoples gear in a 306 is bloody tight already, so please be minimal!!! You MUST take a camera though, it's what we'll all look at after to remind us
You look at Jimmy's camera? After the kind of talk above I don't want to!
jimmy
10-08-2006, 09:01 PM
I think I'm sorted, the mighty Glyn Ward is taking my cameras to vienna along with my hauler bag, what a hero.
Northy
10-08-2006, 09:06 PM

Like to thank Model images, steve kirk, Millzy, mr.greenwood, etc etc for their offers. :)
Northy
10-08-2006, 09:33 PM
You should have asked Glyn to pack your camera stuff next to his whiskey, then he'd make sure it got there safe and sound! :D
Anyone remember Euros at Teeside? :o
