Rode on the day. (Yellow, Blue, White Fireblade 929 and Blue and White BKS leathers). Great event despite weather. Had crammed a camera on bike with camping gear, decided to take photos last sessions, and then, of as many riders as possible, as no photographer at event/ record of the day. Would normally just snap friends. Some are sharp, some not, some could do with cropping for better framing. If you like any, contact and I can send full size pic (5472x3648px uncropped). Happy to send 'Instructors' as a thank you. Co-riders, send for numbered pics, have a look (some are better taken than others), and I leave it to you. even a pound toward replacing a camera I dropped and broke at same event in May would be much appreciated.
Cheers. Paul

Bit more rain and we'll be flooded like the other year.
Couldn't get past the other side of the Charlie Moules without my wellies this morning.

Rhodes (/roʊdz/ ⓘ; Greek: Ρόδος, romanized: Ródos [ˈroðos]) is the largest of the Dodecanese islands of Greece and is their historical capital; it is the ninth largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Administratively, the island forms a separate municipality within the Rhodes regional unit, which is part of the South Aegean administrative region. The principal town of the island and seat of the municipality is the city of Rhodes,[1] which had 50,636 inhabitants in 2011. In 2022, the island had a population of 125,113 people.[2] It is located northeast of Crete and southeast of Athens. Rhodes has several nicknames, such as "Island of the Sun" due to its patron sun god Helios, "The Pearl Island", and "The Island of the Knights", named after the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, who ruled the island from 1310 to 1522.[3]
Historically, Rhodes was famous for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. During the early 21st century the island was one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. Rhodes is part of Greece but geographically is in Asia.[4][5][6][7]
Name
The island has been known as Ρόδος (Ródos) in Greek throughout its history. Similar-sounding ῥόδον (rhódon) in ancient Greek was the word for the rose, whilst in modern Greek the also similar-sounding ρόδι (ródi) or ρόιδο (róido) refers to the pomegranate. It was also called Lindos (Ancient Greek: Λίνδος).[8][9] In addition, the island has been called Rodi in Italian, Rodos in Turkish, and רודי (Rodi) or רודיס (Rodes) in Ladino.
Other ancient names were Ρόδη (Rodē), Τελχινίς (Telchinis) and Ηλιάς (Helias).
The Travels of Sir John Mandeville incorrectly reports that Rhodes was formerly called "Collosus", through a conflation of the Colossus of Rhodes and Paul's Epistle to the Colossians, which refers to Colossae.[10]
The island's name might be derived from erod, Phoenician for snake, since the island was home to many snakes in antiquity....Wikipedia
After a Rode Wireless Mic II recording session with two transmitters, I put the devices back into their soft carrying case. The devices worked well for an interview I had with Shel Holtz.
When I opened the case a few hours later, I discovered the receiver would not recharge. While connected to my standard 5V charging port, the receiver felt warm to touch and its little window became translucent. The battery charging icon never illuminated. I disconnected the charging cable after a few minutes and connected it to the two Rode Wireless II Go transmitters. They charged without any problem.
The defective receiver was made in Australia. It has the number GE0295427 on its rear. It has never been dropped, crushed, or wet. I've used it in more than 20 recording sessions. Until last week, it was a favourite piece of my technology. I've discovered a Reddit thread written by national broadcasters in Ireland in which the mobile journalists have recommended against buying the Rode Wireless Go II because they've encountered battery problems with the devices.
I'm happy getting a replacement receiver from the manufacturer or from B-stock through Thomann.
