Time-lapse video of car journey from Derby to Ashbourne to see Shrovetide Football, Tues 21st Feb 2012.

Here is a time-lapse video of the car jouney I took from Derby to Ashbourne to see the Shrovetide football on Tuesday 21st February 2012.
The journey starts at 1pm on Station Road, Mickleover, Derby and ends at 1.24pm in the Town of Ashbourne.
The journey is made from 976 individual photographs taken on a hardware-modified Canon Ixus 430 camera.
These have been streamed into a video sequence so it looks like a normal video but speeded up.
Best viewed in "Full screen" mode by clicking the icon bottom/right and at 720p or 1080p if you have good hardware.

At the end of the video you can select one of the set of four videos of the actual shrovetide football to watch by clicking on them.

2012 Ashbourne Shrovetide Football Videos now online. Tuesday 21st February 2012.

Today I was at the 2012 Ashbourne Shrovetide Football game and Filmed a lot of the game.
I have edited the video footage into a set of 4 parts you can watch below.
Not sure why but for the first time ever in all the years I've been going to see the Ashboune Football they did NOT bring the ball out of the Green Man or parade it around St John Street and Dig Street. I was there for 1:30 but it never appeared. Lots of people con fussed as to what was happening. Eventually I wandered down to Shawcroft only to see they were already there !

If you want to cut straight to the ball being thrown click HERE.

Today's Match Result
Tuesdays game ended when the Up'ards scored a goal at Sturston at 9:12pm so that's end of play for today. Next game tomorrow. !
