Not sure how much fun their NYE will be.

Crikey. Thats made a massive problem for the tour ops in terms of repatriating their passengers. Charter flights usually wait until the majority are on board before leaving people behind.
Must have been serious to get that many stuck.
Luckily ADH is only 50 odd bends and then decent roads in the valley to Grenoble.

Was a big problem for us too as we lucked out and had to wait for the stragglers.
Im guessing that as we were flying to East midlands this would be the best option to delay and pick up the delayed passengers. Because e.Mids is in the middle of the country and easiest to bus everyone out of.
We watched Bristol, gatwick, leeds/bradford/edinburgh and birmingham all leave minus some passengers....we had to wait for them...except they never came. so we left without them too.

Certainly was a quiet flight apart from the annoying kid in front of me!

Yes, i bought the helmet hero, comes with a few helmet mounts. I also bought the handle bar mount.

Yo :thumbup:
Well done Snapzzz!
I am actually impressed with your ability to ski on your third week with that silly box stuck on the end of a pole.

When are you going to post the falls !!! :mrgreen:

I am working on the fall off the Sarene. The file is there but it is corrupt, this happens when the battery dies whilst it is still writing to the card. I think i left the cam on for quite a while after my mishap....Other things on my mind.
There are plenty of suggestions online to recover it so watch this place.

Heading off to Val D'isere on Sat 7th....now possibly with a video camera as well. Any comments on merits of Drift HD versus the Go Pro??? The Drift looks 'neater' on the helmet but possibly better quality with the Go Pro?

I can't say i have ever used the Drift so i can't comment.
I chose the GoPro because of the awesome video i have seen and most reviews put it ahead of the other offerings.
Also you will see it used by the likes of the BBC (seen it on top gear) so i trust their judgement!
