It's more of a job than I expected ... especially at the end of each day when tired and poor wifi conspire against unbridled enthusiasm. <br /><br />Don't know how the serious long-distance people have the energy left to keep it updated.<br /><br />To that end, I am helping some UK friends to maintain their endurance blog in Sept-Oct. Their event, a car rally from Beijing to Paris over 10 weeks ... the driver will use a satellite phone to leave me an update each day, and email or MMS some photos ... and I'll write it up and post it (complete with editorial variations as I see fit!!).BlackHumourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078705590579183046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601467807639369287.post-33372778654940246162010-06-14T12:23:38.691-07:002010-06-14T12:23:38.691-07:00Gretz, I wondered when someone would spot that.

I think it's the effect that tunnels have on the GPS. The longer the tunnel, the more intergalactic the apparent speed required to catch up on the other side. Does that make sense?<br /><br />Next I will get into the gpx file itself and see if I can edit out the tunnels. Watch this space.BlackHumourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078705590579183046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601467807639369287.post-41767175387726560832010-06-14T00:49:22.496-07:002010-06-14T00:49:22.496-07:00Wow- Hi Peter and Karen - this whole adventure is ...Wow- Hi Peter and Karen - this whole adventure is phenomenally exciting and brave! good luck! will keep following the journey so keep blogging!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17501132314840283005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1601467807639369287.post-23871702603795363112010-06-13T17:45:45.201-07:002010-06-13T17:45:45.201-07:00Am I reading your graph right??
