singy13 372 Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I took some pics yesterday of the current state of the ex speedway track at Workington. That is minus the shale but still lots of concrete around the four bends ... Edited June 8, 2021 by singy13 added pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marksman 528 Posted May 28, 2021 You need to upload them to an image hosting site like imgur.com Then to post on here just drag and drop the uploaded image from the hosting site to the reply box on here 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted May 28, 2021 Your photos could well be too high resolution. Lots of people set camera to high resolution thinking it makes better photo viewing. For computer viewing I found low res 640x480 is fine. There. Is a max total size of .24mb on uploading photos, you probably exceeding that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted May 29, 2021 What you could do Singy13, is just load a couple or three at a time, making multiple posts, thus not exceeding .24mb limit on each occurrence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,242 Posted May 29, 2021 I have a problem downloading images...given up trying if I'm honest! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,137 Posted May 29, 2021 As long as you know where the image is on your computer and the image is not too large there should be no problem Steve. I always use the "choose files" option, this takes me to my computer and just go to the place and file I want. The size of the file (picture) is important, too large and it wont load.

singy13 372 Posted June 10, 2021 The two pics show what is left of the Comets track nowadays...i.e. The concrete base that Ian Thomas and Jeff Brownhutt put in before adding shale, the grooves are from the scraping machines blade ....their is no shale there at DP now at all apparently all taken and dumped at Northside awaiting next track development???

Hi Singy - I was at Iwade training track (one mile from Sittingbourne and the Kent Kings) yesterday where one of my sons was practising with others - Heard some good news that Northside would be doing training sessions next month and we were invited to take part - sadly I think it will be too far for us but hope this will be just the sort of news to warm the hearts of all the Workington fans - Will leave you to take it from there - good luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One bit of good news is that tha caravan dwellers that had taken up residence have been expelled, BUT are now all over different parts of Workington including a school playing field !! Also a new security gate at the entrance near the docks has been put up. Wish the guy behind it good luck 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
