Just back 2 hours ago.

God made most of the world in the first 5 days, on the 6th day, having learned from his efforts and errors he made the Alps.
A long time later he gave us the XTZ to go and visit them on.
What an incredibly beautiful place.

6 days
2234 miles (3594km), last day - 835 miles (1343km) in 24 1/2 hours.
176.8 litres of fuel
1 extremely sore butt.
1 small crash
8 new friends
1 dead TomTom
311 photos (Don't worry , I am not showing them all)
0 new snow (but lots of ice)
1 very important old fashined lesson learned
1 rider very impressed with his bike

Pics and report to follow after some sleep and baby bum cream (joking).

Help

Guys,

I am trying to sort out my report.

I have selected all the photos and written the document but I can only get pictures to appear in thumbnail size.

I have used direct from computer loads thay have been shrunk for 3Mb to 85 and 178 kb at 640x480. All produce thumbnails.
I have used all the link options in photobucket that do not give "invalid file" errors but I still only get a clickable thumbnail (even when I do not use the thumbnail option in photobucket).

What does everybody else do to get reasonable sized photos intio the site ??

Confused old git

Ray,

Use the Insert Image link and then insert the address of the image.

So for the image below I inserted - http://www.xt660.com/attachment.php?...9&d=1224137937
