Forgot the promises

I'm off work now until next Wednesday and plan to "relax" by taking an interest in this Parish Walk thingy that is going on.

So I'm not staying online late tonight as I am going to do my "Saturday" run tomorrow before spending most of the rest of the day preparing my coverage of the event - I have a whole new front page to set up apart from anything else.

So forget what I said about about going you more stats pre-race, I'm signing off here now after 289 posts in the past 7 months.

There will be a new blog linked into the new front page by tomorrow evening which will carry the race commentary and post race analysis.

Good bye.

PS I'm back already to say that there have been 1052 visitors to the site already today.

You can tell we are getting close

Belt you with stats

Despite spending more time than ever on websites in the past 6 months there are one or two things that I am not going to achieve.

I've only managed three featured walkers this year rather than the planned half dozen but the three features that I had lined up will hopefully be the first three next year.

Setting up a new photo site was forced on me with the collapse of the fotopic site and has consumed a huge amount of time. I've got 65.000 photos uploaded and hopefully will go live tomorrow.

I'll try not to disappoint the stat fans in the final few days. And probably a few grumpy old man comments to come too.

Google Earth Map

There is a new version of the Google Earth Map of the course including toilets and feeding stations at http://kevsrambles.brinkster.net/pw/parishwalkmap.htm

It has been compiled by Kevin Deakes.

Updates

I've just completed another version of the following files:

All entrants by name

All 2011 entrants

Entrants from previous years not entered in 2011

One week from now

...we will on record time.

Database updates

Thanks for the latest feedback. Here are the new versions of the following files:

All entrants since 1960 (excluding non finishers up to 1973):

The records of everyone who is entered for 2011:

And those that haven't entered this year:

Is the latter category that I am particularly to keen to receive information about if you think, for example, I have given separate ID numbers to the same person.

Thanks.
