Picos Films

Post by Mudlark »

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

https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/3 ... directlink

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 :D

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.

Cheers Rich :D

Wow!

Well worth the wait Mark 8)

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.
