Had a few days off over Christmas so finally got round to getting some vids together; for anyone interested.
Best watched in 720p HD if you change the setting down in the bottom left of the screen.
Part 1 - Plymouth to Robs, on to Potes

Part 2 - Off up the trails.
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/C ... directlink
Set to some music to drown out the derv drones, the chatter of the three kids in the van with me, and my singing
Thanks to Rose for pointing a camera a lot of the time.
There may be a part three in the offing, rest of the off-road and a bit of the drive home if you can stand it!

Superb.
Wish I could have made the trip, but alas it wasn't to be.
Really hope something similar happens again.

Mark the videos are really great and cant wait till number 3 gets finished.
Have to see if we can afford to do it again this year.

Excellent vids Mark. Brings back cracking memories! Going over the top of the Picos in the mist was just awesome!
Thanks very much.

Wow!
Well worth the wait Mark
Captures the atmosphere brilliantly (apart from the hallucinogenic black sausage, which is best forgotten
)
I'm sure however long it takes, Part III won't disappoint.
