Tracking our progress

We have purchased a Satellite Personal Tracker device called Spot. This will be used to show you where we are in the world. You'll be able to track our progress by clicking on the Spot link on the Home page of the Transglobemoto website. You will then be taken to a Google map showing you our exact co-ordinates at any given time/date when we send an update. There is also a 'live' tracking facility to Spot. It updates every ten minutes or so but the downside is that it is heavy on the batteries. In the last 18 days or so, we'll be trying out the Spot locator so you'll see a variety of local entries showing up on the link. We'll also test the 'live' tracker and see how long the batteries last so that we can decide whether to send regular updates or stay on tracker mode.

Update

Tom's shoulder is healing well and after taking a bit of stick from David we heard that the chair stunt man took a tumble and has injured his knee and tricept. He is on the mend and should be okay for the 9th May. All preparations are going well and the final plan is emerging.
