Erm, I may be the only one in the dark on this, but what's REDACTED?

Ah, I thought it was a technical term (e.g. a mode on the GPS tracker) rather than the actual word itself 

[Mr Larrington]

So just got to get results of last scan/lung test prior to Restart of the HAM'R on the 18th June (earliest start date poss).  Some observations:- 

Ten things NOT to do when you are chasing 15 separate WR's.

1. Don't move into new accommodation the night before you start your WR attempts.

2. If you fail 1. above, at least make sure that the Electricity, Gas and (I'm not joking) Water is connected.

3. If you fail 1. and 2. above, don't delay in taking up the Real Estate Agents offer 'to do all he can'. - immediately go around to his home (It took me over two weeks) early on a Sunday  morning, put your foot in the door when he opens it and make a B line for the Washing Machine.  Then carefully explain to Mrs Real Estate Agent why you are in her laundry room with two weeks worth of smelly bike nicks and leave her to deal with the by now cowering husband.

Its a small town in Virginia on the road between Washington and Quantico.
(or it should be)

Go for it Miles.

[Mr Larrington]

Given that USAnia has communities named Greenbackville, Accident, Duck, Onancock, Intercourse and Truth Or Consequences it would not be a surprise.

This alone deserves a medal.

I know what redacted means but still don't understand the meaning in this context...

It means Miles didn't what to state the location or names as that would be libel (and aggressive rather than funny). Think of the bleeps in a comedy program.
I like Mile's [REDACTED] sense of humour, he seems a good humoured [REDACTED].

Thanks - I get it now!

Be careful. Go around describing yourself like that and you'll end up on a barbie.

I think he's distancing himself from this



Please team miles, get it together.  Good luck on Thursday and for the following 364 days (that's the right number, despite the leap year?).

[miles smith]

Hi jefmcg.

You are correct we HAM'R guys don't get the extra day in a leap year.

Yesterday were testing the Garmin 510 and 500 data collection and upload was working OK.  Given the info in your post you can see the test results.

Several probs for this, the first being we uploaded only via GSM phone network previously and this time we gave it a go via WIFI network (Domino's Pizza Port Melbourne).

No truth in the rummer, that I'm starting right now, that I stuffed up the upload so I could go a second Large deep pan pizza.   

As we will not be running a concurrent challenge we just want to ensure that all previously encountered 'issues' are sorted, by using the upload to the aborted challenge info reprository.  See 'things not to do' post made earlier.

Blimy - just catching up and bluddy hell!  You were going great guns Miles, but glad to hear you are restarting and wishing you the best of luck.  18th is nearly here already 

[Justin(e)]

Good luck Miles

[Marmitegeoff]

Good Luck with the restart Miles.   How about getting an E-trex as well as the other GPS units as they are very basic but work well, with a long battery life.

Proof, if it was needed, that you aren't a Melbourne native.  It's not really pizza, and you should never eat Dominos pizza in Melbourne except in a genuine emergency.  It would be like drinking Starbucks ... please tell me you don't do that! 

(good luck)
