Could you view OK the original photo of Castel de Roca that I had trouble posting last week?
Was it a full photo or only part of it?
Ted.

ted there does seem to be some idiosyncrasy with the abr site , all my pics have been uploaded in the same way using their add attchment sub prog yet the first group are full page and the second are in an attachment box which only enlarge if you tap on them.
FYI my pictures when i put them into the pc are generally 2gb in size i use paint shop pro to reduce them to 800x600 to post on websites this makes each file about 180k but you still get a good quality pic. I keep my pice in the my pictures file on the p,c, and then use the attachment browse feature to upload them but you have to tell the attchment browser to upload them not just find them and if you havent reduced your file size some sites (perhaps abr) have a maximum file size that they will allow to be uploaded, or if your files are large they can take some time to upload and maybe you shut down before they had transferred

Hi Guys and gals,

After Britfrogs bash this topic is pretty much over I guess. But at last I'm on the road and celebrated with a fab ride around the central Pyrenees amnd I'be started a new thread in case anyone's interested.

Thanks for that advice on posting pic's Britfrog.
I will have another go to see if I can avoid the letter-box half-photo's next time.
Doesn't that Paella make you mouth water. One of the best Paella's I have ever had .

Glad you are back on the road Simon (Spanish Biker)
How does the bike feel with its new shock?
We wait to hear about your antics.

Ted.

Hi Ted,

The shock is great, but the pre-load is extremely sensitive - I will have to adjust it carefully with each different load. Otherwise it's made a big difference to road riding. Not sure about off road though and won't find out for some time at this rate. I'm off on my tour next week - I hope - just booked incredibly cheap digs for a night in Leon - where I have an ongoing invite for a trawl of the tapas bars - after that I hope to meet M up in Asturias.

Cheers

Simon
