Yes I do Mel.  But I can never get them to load on this sight.  I posted A couple on a car forum I use if you are interested.

If you know how I can attach some here I would love to know.  Since Photobucket started charging I don't have an on line photo account anywhere.

PS.  All I did was right click on the image on your other forum image and selected "copy image address".  Clicked "reply" in this forum.  Then clicked on the "insert image" button above and pasted the link into the box.  Clicked "ok" and ....taaaadaaaaaa.  Piccy appears  :)

Good idea Mel.  Spectre, the owner of the other forum might get a bit miffed if I fill the car forum with pics of my walks though.


Still no reason I can't bring the other one across too.

How do you upload pics onto that forum?  The look/layout seems very similar to this one.

Not for one minute pretending to know any better than anyone else who has posted excellent advice and agree with previous posters......for me you need to double /treble or even quadruple time allowed to complete your walk. Forget 4 k per hour naismith. ....more like 1 k or 500m or less per hour in full Scottish hoolie forget timing better pacing steps if your brain dosnt freeze....use beads / toggles on a string to count every 100m...

They are loaded as attachments.  You can load up to 10 per post.  The server has a large capacity I guess.  It is a very well supported forum. So they can afford that.  When I try and upload even one attachment here, I get a massage telling me it's too big.  :(

Coby Your quite right. I was out on the moor again today.  A lot more snow, though melting, on all but the highest slopes.  It took me 4 hours, with stops, to cover 6 miles and 450m of assent. I have done that route in 2.5 in more amiable conditions. 

Much easier on Thursday when it was just frozen solid with little snow.

Ahh, right  :(   Other than resizing before trying to upload as an attachment, the only other thing I can think is if you have a facebook account, upload them to there first then copy/paste as above  :-\


...Nice that you get a massage though  :D
