Arggghhh my radio link has stopped working!!

Mine keeps buffering but still not as bad as it has been.

And is the reason why we have never visited those parks either!

Thanks once more to Aussiegal,Ron,Lunchy and radio Freemantle.

Do you have heat 13 Aussiegal?

Aussiegal, where have you gone?

Got the details over on the Updates site Steve.

Thanks.

Do you have heat 6 Aussiegal?

Anyone know the details from the first 3 heats?

Getting the radio here but with a fair bit of buffering....heard the same tracks twice although listening to Daddy Cool was like a step back in time and had me dancing around the kitchen.

Not sure I believe you BFD ....and now I have received another one . Are you leading him astray?

Huge thanks to the various posters on here, Ron at Yahoo.com and Radio Freemantle for the results.

Well the BSF just got a mention.....

Huge thanks to everyone putting results up, I am also collating all the info from here onto the Updates, plus trying to listen live .....blooming thing seems to cut out when it gets to the exciting bits!

I am also borrowing these results as there is quite a few looking in on the Updates too.

Yep I have and it is well worth doing. Photos of my visit are on my webshots.

In defence, I actually did the Prague one with TP and much preferred where we were staying as we got the normal rates for food etc but only a 10 minute walk from the main tourist area. My Danish trip I posted about cost way less than £200, £40 for the flights, £50 for the hotel (which I didn't need to pay) , free VIP GP ticket plus spares ( ) and around £20 for all the trains needed plus maybe around another tenner for the taxis...think the most money I spent was on alcohol at the GP as the price for food was not that bad plus of course, I got treated by the lovely gentlemen who escorted me back to the hotel. I did go on a DIY trip to Italy organised by Chivsy...again extremely cheap and because Chivs did all the arrangements the experience was brilliant. We hired a car, the cost of which was split 5 ways, GP tickets were dirt cheap, flights were approx about £30 a person and the hotel for 3 nights was £120 for 2 of us. It cost for both me and my son just over £200 for the basics plus maybe another £50 for food and drink while there. Edit ..... SCB I agree regarding the DIY trips, the only reason why I posted my Denmark experience was to show what could go wrong. I was supposed to be with a friend who was also bringing some of her friends but once she pulled out, so did the others leaving me billy no mates!

I have done both methods and there are pros and cons for both. Travel Plus is expensive but (a big but) you feel safe, all the arrangements are done for you, you have no need to worry about getting from the airport to the hotel, the hotel to the GP and back and hotel back to airport. For a single passenger, this makes it a whole lot safer, especially if you are female. I travelled to Denmark on my own for a GP, and from the get go, it all well a little pear shaped. My friend who lives in Denmark was called in at the last minute to do something else, so it was left to me to travel from an hour from Aarhus (think it was called Vjeune) to Copenhagen by train arriving at 5pm in a strange city with no idea of where the hotel was. A quick taxi ride got me to the hotel with enough time to just drop my stuff and head straight back out again. During the GP because my friend was unable to come, I was in amongst strangers most of which didn't speak a word of English (the only Danish I knew at the time was Congratulations, happy birthday and thanks!) so it was very lonely, although by the end of the evening, these strangers had taken to this rather strange Englishwoman. Now for the really scary part.... GP finishes, all transport full and no way to get back to the hotel unless I walked....and er, I had no idea how to get back! After several attempts to hail a taxi whilst walking down the road leading from the stadium, I was almost in tears. Here I was, stuck in a strange city in a strange country, at night, all on my own and with only very rudimentary knowledge of the language....so I did what my parents had always told me NOT to do, I spoke to the nearest stranger, who luckily turned out to also be a little lost as although he and his group were native to Denmark and from a place not too far out from Copenhagen, they had no clue how to get to the train station. So we all joined together and started walking...with no real idea of where we were going but eventually we walked far enough away from the stadium to be able to get a taxi back to my hotel , which amazingly enough, we had been walking towards and the taxi only had to drive around a corner and we were there. The evening was finished off with a group of us then hitting the food places near to my hotel for a meal, drinks and general merriment and I was safely deposited back in my hotel at 4am in the morning. Only problem now was getting from Copenhagen back to Aarhus for my flight but after the rigours of the night before, I found this relatively easy, for now I had picked up a fair amount of the language (enough to read the newspaper and understand a train timetable) and in fact, the people on the train had difficulty believing I was a Brit (I thought the British flag on my coat might have been a giveaway) because I sat there reading a Danish newspaper,timetable and seemingly knew which was my stop without being in a panic. It was only after all of this that I realised it could have been oh so different, what if the group of blokes I spoke to had not been law abiding? What if I had taken the wrong platform for my train home? I was vulnerable and I didn't like it but god was I proud of myself to getting through without giving up.

Sounds good to me!

I am still interested in putting updates on Speedway Updates if someone is prepared to text from Australia. Just send me a pm or email if you want to volunteer!

Well if anyone fancies texting from these or any other Australian meetings (and of course I realise it is expensive from Australia), then I am more than willing to receive them and update on Speedway Updates. If anyone does fancy that, get in touch via pm or email and we can sort something out.

Not that kind of experience or strength!! And awww Lunchy, would have been nice to hear your lovely voice again......but 2am!!

I am getting way too old for that!! Plus Ex hubby is down for the weekend and I need all my strength for the experience.

Ouch, don't think that one I will look for a texter for... I would have to get up at 3 or 4 am to update!
