Top 10 Tips for Attending the Royal International Air Tattoo
1. Leave early, otherwise you will end up spending a LONG time queuing to get in, we were queuing for almost 2 hours!
2. Take a portable seat to sit on, you will spend a lot of time sitting around and having a portable seat will make this a lot easier, especially if the grass is wet
3. Take an umbrella, just in case it rains
4. Wear comfortable shoes, it’s a big “show ground” and just to walk from one end to the other is about 2 miles…
5. Take something to read, there are some quite bits where you may want to have something else to do, unless you’re with a bunch of friends.
I was hoping to take my kids to the Royal International Air Tattoo last year, but it was rained off for the first time in it’s history, so we we’re pretty determined to make it this year, and it was well worth it!
We took umbrella’s just in case, but the weather was kind enough to stay dry, my son and I even picked up a bit of sun burn, so we certainly can’t complain at the weather!
The day didn’t start quite so well though, as we ended up stuck in the queue to get in for almost 2 hours!
Having recently moved house I thought I’d run a test on the connection speed I’m getting with my broadband connection.
Most services will limit you to around 7-800KBps upload speed, so it’s really the download speed I was interested in, especialy as that’s what effects stuff like browsing sites, watching videos and downloading programs etc.
I’m not going to mention the name of the first site I first used to test my connection speed, as after the results I got with them sucked I realised I should probably do a bit of research before I called my provider to shout at them…
If you’re a regular visitor you may notice that I’ve updated the “look & feel” of this site.
I use a blogging “content management script” for this site called WordPress, you might have heard of it, as it’s quite popular and with good reason.
I am a bit of a “web head” and have been building my own websites for a decade or so now, so I know how to “code” a site using “html”, but using a blogging platform like wordpress makes it all SO MUCH EASIER!
