Captains Slow Video Diary Thread 2019 Eurotrip

Postby locost220 » Tue Jun 11, 2019 3:45 pm

Well it was with quite some trepidation that i set off on this years roadtrip, my ninth, having had my car 'Eleanor' in bits for the past year my great friend and original co builder of Eleanor' Dave had offered to lend me his car for the trip.
No mean feat given that he was aware that we would be covering 2000 odd miles over the 8 days in changeable conditions, the car a Robin Hood 2B not being used that often but being in good condition for it age and me not known for my gentle touch.
So not being able to clamp Go Pro fitting on to the car for fear of damage i decided to do a Kenton style video diary to capture some of the highlights, as expected that itself was not without it hitches given my works IPad has limited memory but easier to deal with so it has taken me some time to cobble together Days 1 activities from that and my IPhone and will take some time to do each one given i have a work backlog and still three days after getting home feeling knackered.
hope you enjoy day 1
