The October Torbay trip.

Well back home now. Mrs Sniffs is fine, she just was getting concerned about the time the last lane was taking, but all OK now.

As I say, very grateful to FK and BGB for seeing us through safely and the laning on both days was fantastic - great scenery, challenging lanes (but not too bad) and the lean-y bit on the last lane was the only really butt-clenchy moment! But proved what the vehicles can do.

Some photographs attached...

There are more from that section but i chose the ones that didnt give bad glare :(

Think this is the tricky decent with the slalom round the tree:

apologies to Pikey and minty as i had to rush off down the hill to move my car as there were trail riders coming up. So no photos of you on that decent.

some of the lanes were a little over grown:

Last couple of lanes after lunch we took in a really nice drop through some woods and ended up in a valley with a little stream.

Careful, we don't look that alike.

It was me on the beardy one's camera.

So come on buggles, get em up. :D :D

Patience grasshopper im currently measuring the front room to see if the corner sofa i just bought will fit!

Oh and cooking a gourmet feast for 2. :D
 
What kind of camera setup you use?

On the vid? GoPro hero 2 ...using a wi-fi back linked to iPad ...shot on 1080HD , but then i did download to youtube on 720 ...as 14mins takes 3 hours at that size so 1080 ...well i'd still be waiting - probably - will try it out on my next jaunt.:)
Thank you for your kind words earlier ...made me go all smiley ..:):):):):)

Also i think next time I may be a little cheeky and see if i can attach the camera to the back of the vehicle in front for an hour or so , so i can see the whites of me own eyes ....:eek::eek::eek::D
