Sir Nick

If you could compress your Pyrenees video just a touche more I could probably host it my online Pogoplug cloud for you?

Thanks for the offer, I really don't have the will to go back into the editor! lol

Ok it's up on YouTube here

Its 1080p but YouTube seem to have stuffed it to way less, maybe because its so big/long at 2hrs 9min (it's now at 720 so just takes them time, 1080 should be there soon!)

This is the AVI version which means its compressed to around 4Gb with a bit of quality loss.  I have an mpeg version at 14Gb.

I hope you spot your car!

ok ok I'll have another go at hacking it!

Got it down to a 'watching paint dry' 2 hours!  I suggest copious use of fast forward to the bits that interest you!

I'll pop it on my YouTube channel with a link on here in a few hours...or days!

Love an edited version.!!!

I think I'd need to send you a USB drive or use a DropBox/We Transfer (paid for) account. I'll see if I have a large enough USB drive lying around.

22Gb!  I lost the will to keep editing it lol!

I could put it on a floppy disk and send it to ya!

Ooh - how big is the movie file?

If anyone wants a 2hr 20min compilation GoPro video of our trip, let me know!

We try to do these 'megatrips' every couple of years rather than every year so that people can a) save up and b) use their holiday allocation to actually relax! They're not cheap so really need some commitment in terms of finance.

It's very easy - especially after one as good as that one was - to say "AgainAgainAgain", but practically that's not possible for everyone.

Having said that, I would definitely be up for one next year... But then I didn't really have one this year!

I have a Swedish tour route available from the old days with Petrolhead Nirvana. but don't know Portugese roads, so that might be fun, too. Are there any Portugese owners? As Steve says, maybe another thread...

I was thinking Thurs 8th - Mon 12th or Thurs 15th - Mon 19th. Overnight from Portsmouth to Caen, gives all day Friday to move down the coast, at some point turn inland and loop back to Caen.

I could do either. And we now know some of the best places to stay.

Probably best to start another thread. After you, Colonel Richards...

Re Portugal trip I was thinking next year probably June  before it gets too hot and holiday season starts.  All depends on work commitments.  I also haven't got my Atom yet.  Finalising spec with Tom down at the factory tomorrow, so should have it next couple of months.

I will raise the idea later this year to gauge interest and do some initial planning.  I only have a few definites I want to visit, mainly in the north, where I lived, but the rest I could plan around peoples interests, which could cover various points across the country, and perhaps a track day down on the Algarve circuit

Love the idea of a Portuguese trip! It's one of the countries I've never done. I'm all over the ferry too. Next year or year after should be far better for me.
