Exercise Javelin Chase
Brig. Tim Carmichael, commander, 1 Signal Brigade, Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC), hosted Exercise Javelin Chase (EJC), July 8-9. The race was organized to raise funds to support the Help for Heroes charity.
EJC is a 24-hour running race where 8-man teams will compete to see which team will complete the most laps on a one-mile course in 24-hours. The winning team will be the team that has completed the most amounts of laps in the time period. This could vary from 150 to 200 laps.
Each team had to raise a minimum of £250 to participate in EJC.
“This is a charity race to raise money for Help for Heroes, which is a national charity that looks after the needs of injured military serving members and former service members,” said Brig. Carmichael.
He said they hope to raise a total of £5000 if not more and every single penny will be donated to Help for Heroes charity.
The event took place at the sports field behind HQ ARRC Officer’s Mess. The course was on grass and tracks with no tarmac that winds around and through the woods. As if it wasn’t going to be challenging enough to run 24-hours, the rain on opening day would make it a little more testing.
In the 24-hours a combined total of 2426.00 miles were covered, with the winning team, 299 Signal Squadron, Special Communication running 222 of those miles, and 22 Signal Regiment coming in second with 217 laps.

We don't get it very often, so when we did yesterday afternoon I made a half hearted (hesitant) go at photographing some. This was the best I could do ... tee hee! ... and I wasn't even sure I'd captured this.
I've only photographed lightning once before and it was also along The Old South Road (what a road!!!)
Actually I was doing this
when the lightning further south became apparent and I chased it (half-heartedly).
I've put the home-movie of the Black-shouldered Kite fledgling waiting for its Mum to show with a mouse (but it didn't while I was there), up here on flickr as well!

Chase organized an event and invited his twitter followers. The shoot was in a nearby indoor skateboard park where we got to play with his lighting equipment (a couple bad-ace Broncolor packs and strobes that can keep up with his 9fps D3, a ginormous 220cm-diameter parabolic umbrella) and cameras (D3, D3x). Afterward was socializing, food, keg, music, and videos back at his studio. Supposedly the event filled (25 spots) within ninety seconds of his invite. SMS alerts ftmw.

Cannock Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- a landscape of inspiration
In England and Wales , there is a huge variety of scenery and landscapes, from dramatic coasts to remote mountains. Those landscapes considered most valuable are designated as National Parks or Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). These landscapes are protected by law and managed to maintain their special character for now and the future.
Cannock Chase was designated as an AONB in 1958 because of its beautiful landscape, its wildlife and its history. Cannock Chase is the largest surviving area of lowland heathland in the Midlands . Lowland heath is an internationally scarce and threatened wildlife habitat. The AONB also has extensive areas of forest and woodland along with areas of designed parkland, sand and gravel quarrying and mixed agriculture.
Cannock Chase and its associated animal and plant communities are part of an historic landscape dating back thousands of years. Wild deer still roam the Chase and are probably descended from the original herd introduced in Norman times for hunting purposes.
