I thought the rally was a bit hit and miss really.

The set up in the way buses were parked did seem better than last year with buses being able to be photographed easily enough. They need to sort out their communications with people for these events, didn't seem to be anyone about to ask questions or anything like that and then the online communications were poor, little info on the website and the few bits of info that actually was on there was wrong, apparently there the shuttles were running a 10 minute frequency when in actual fact it was a 15 minute frequency. In regards to the 15 minute frequency, in some ways I am pleased that's what was observed as it takes roughly 10 minutes to get from Howlands to Durham City Centre so in theory you should be able to get on a bus from the City Centre to Howlands then jump on another bus back into the City Centre then wait 15 minutes for the next one back to the site.

I actually quite enjoyed myself today, I was chatting to a few people today, some I've seen a fair few times now and I met some for the first time. Also enjoyed riding the buses on the shuttles.
