Free download weekend !
So, everything from this weekend was fully sponsored by the events and supported by the brands supporting those events - with Storm the Castle being full pic2go activation for their decathlon with all the images going out live on the day for participants -over 10,000 images all done by the early afternoon ! What more do you want as a participant ? Answers by reply please...
You can see we're getting ready for the busy spring and summer season - with loads of sponsored events coming up in the next couple of months, so get your entries in before they run out of spaces... and get making those memories to remember !!
Here's a few pictures from the weekend - everything was free and downloadable - so really just a bunch of very happy people getting free memory boosters !!
see if you can put the photo to the event ?

We had an interesting enquiry to cover some marketing for the new ohoos at the london marathon (probably overpriced ourselves in the quote, but probably best to do that instead of work at a loss or exposure credits!) - which got me thinking about the environmental energy cost of cups and reusable cups and the whole hooha - which is more about waste disposal than carbon footprint and global warming.
Here's a very interesting piece of research analysis for you to have a read of -
https://www.design4x.com/misc/bus183/handouts/Hocking.SpringerVerlag.Energy%20Use%20of%205%20Different%20Cups.pdf
From what I can see, if you were to drive at 60mph for a mile to an event - you're using more energy (about 250kJ/mile) than it takes to make a reusable plastic cup.
And the biggest change you can make to saving energy ? just reuse the cup without washing it - because the washing up takes up more energy than simply making a new polystyrene plastic cup.
Otherwise the real environmental point is it's all about the carbon footprint - https://sspimg.com/plastic-distract
To be honest, if we are serious about the environment - we'd significantly reduce business travel flights by insisting on internet webcam meetings, and if "it's a bit crap" - go and invent some technology to make it better you dullards... I mean - EGames and massive multiplayer online games exist and have significant numbers (ie millions) of users - so the technology is out there, it just needs redirecting. We don't need VR headsets, we just need the webcam to just pick out ourselves, and not the messy house behind...and then make it an interesting sort of a thing to use. I mean really - it doesn't take a genius. Stop flying, start using the internet, or the phone.
Reducing your running carbon foot-print ? (aka Carbon trainer-print ?)
So at the next race you're thinking of running and driving to it 50 miles away, but there's one right on your doorstep - support that one nearby, perhaps cycle to it, and then drink as much as you want at the water station from whatever they give you - guilt free....
Perhaps strava has an extension to calculate your carbon trainer-print ?
so with enough of that thoughts on saving the planet, have a wonderful weekend - I'm off to southampton to get ready for sunday !
Until next week
