If google maps time is correct, Teams Pink & Orange should be at the fort in the next couple of minutes, according to our tweeter.

Doing a search... Not much coming up for that. I don't know... Great that someone wants to tweet over there, but doing it from the web of all places is not what I had in mind. If they were on the road, they wouldn't give Twitter updates on the web.

I think that is due to the iPad. I don't have one, nor do I know anybody that has one, so I can't test it out. But its not a phone, so it wouldn't be correct to put it under Mobile Tweets (Or whatever they are called, I'm not that familiar with it.)

Anyway, if he keeps tweeting, I'll keep posting while its relevant. Might as well get it all here, then we can decide if its fake or not.

Maybe it is the Pit Stop but one team missed something and had to go back to re-do it? :duno:

This response means he didn't think there were any other teams in front of the two he saw leave the clock tower before the team he was helping (the Asian team).

purple and white team showed up, made up ground
11 minutes ago via web

More teams arriving at the fort, only one team has left....hmmm...maybe hookie is right, someone had to leave for some reason (oops!)

Stonehenge was DEFINITELY the first stop after the airport

Not to  :badhorse:

But if teams were still racing, this leg would be going on FOURTEEN hours by now. Really?

The only explanation I can think of is that they stopped them racing for a while at Stonehenge for some reason. But that seems unlikely as well.  :duno:

So far it appears teams have gone Stonehenge>>Salisbury> Fort, right?

I know these places, the Fort would a great Pitstop...

This all smells very real to me!

If someone wants to post a few pics of these locations in the location thread, that would be great!

Chills....if he can't post them here, he can email them to me or you and we can do it.

His latest twitter:

Ipad died back on blackberry all teams now at the fort including the one that left. Let's hope this tweet app works     8 minutes ago  via UberTwitter 

So it looks like one team couldn't check in.  This might put the Wu's second on this leg.

Hey Joey!  thanks for sharing all of your great info with us! We've had fun following you all afternoon.  I have sent you an e-mail as well, but any additional info you can share with us would be greatly appreciated!
Of special interest would be the color of the first and last team to arrive at the fort as well as any info about the team that left and then returned!

Welcom to RFF! :hearts:

If google maps time is correct, Teams Pink & Orange should be at the fort in the next couple of minutes, according to our tweeter.
Ooh, I wonder if they formed an alliance from basically being on the same boat together?  Both teams looked like they were getting pretty chummy in one of those screenshots (though I kinda thought it wasn't allowed until after they left the starting line, but hey, I guess some rules can be changed).
