Mystery Parcel Suprise!

*Edit - I clearly cannot spell Surprise.

Every morning for the past week or so, we've been woken up by our two-year-old son at very-early-o'clock.  Ever since he learned to scale the baby gate across his door, he's made his way out and into our room, climbing on the bed, waving the TV remote in our faces and shouting, "Pig, Pig!".  He's a big fan of Peppa Pig.  No difference this morning as usual, but it was unusual to also have an early morning knock at the door from the postman....
Especially odd, as I've nothing on order right now apart from a Raspberry Pi, and that won't be with me for months yet.  Let's have a look inside.
"Hi Ade, Sorry to hear about your camera being stolen.  Hope this gets you back filming."
How mega-cool is this - Oregon Scientific read my blog!  In a nutshell, for those that may have missed it, my car recently got broken into and they took my beloved Contour HD.  A bit more of a delve and I find:
An Oregon Scientific ATC Mini Action Cam and Surf Mount!

The box says, "Records 720p HD", and "Waterproof up to 20m (60 feet)".  That would have been useful given the weather we've had recently!

I'll not have time to look much further right now as I'm at work unfortunately with an ever increasing pile of stuff needed my attention, but I'll be out riding tonight as ever with the Mountainboard Derby guys and will get some footage with full write-up later this week!

For now though, I can 't thank the Oregon Scientific guys enough for doing this for me.  It's much appreciated and I'll be sure to give it a good and thorough testing over the next few weeks.  That's a thought - it'd be perfect for Dave and I might be able to cobble enough footage together to enter the ATJunkies Film festival.

Stay tuned, there's lots to look forward to!
