Record attempt scheduled

Presumably the "Follow my progress" button here - http://www.lejogmack.co.uk/ - will link to live data once she's started. (When I clicked it just now it was showing a tag up at Helmsdale, in the North of Scotland, dated August 2019. Presumably a previous attempt.)

Ooooh goody - I look forward to following this!

Still not updated. I’ll keep an eye though, I assume she’s getting set up at the start and it will go live soon.

Live tracker now!! Good luck to her!!

Here’s an easy link for watchers

Link not working!

Paulatic's link is working for me but it's not for dotwatching as it just jumps along every few minutes.

That's normal, it's rarely a smooth line. It only updates at set intervals and if it doesn't have any mobile signal at that time, it'll just save the update for when it does.

You can see as she went round Hayle there's a few straight lines where the updates haven't been regular enough to trace the exact road route.

I can see what it's doing. Different attempts have used various tracking systems. The "maths teacher's" (Michael Broadwith's) successful attempt on the men's EtoE used a system where it was possible constantly to see progress in real time and sit watching in sheer admiration toggling between the tracker and the schedule. Of course, if somebody is engaged in a record attempt, they are under no obligation whatsoever to provide free entertainment for me watching from the comfort of my settee.

(PS I only posted to say it was working because philvantoo - quite understandably - thought the apparent lack of movement meant it wasn't working. Red blob = working. There are other symbols for other situations. See "Key")
==================================================
Another thing I've found useful on some record attempt tracks has been the chart showing progress against the record, although it's sad if the progress curve inexorably drops below what's needed.

21 minutes up on schedule by Launceton.
A little worrying or is there a good tail wind down there?

It's pretty unusual to start when there ISN'T a tail-wind! But it's quite stormy here, so there may be localised strong-winds dotted around our Green and Pleasant Land

Going to be a bit thundery in the midlands/M62 corridor this evening too.

In a video clip of her start posted on another site there is audible wind noise.
