Re: Bivvy a month 2014 thread.

Summittoppler; nice video and scenery, a bit less sweary than others I have seen recently;-) Do you like the Virb? I have been thinking of getting one for a while now and keep wavering. Cheers Its the Virb Elite and imo it gives better quality footage compared to the Hero 2. It seems to handle the ...

Re: Bivvy a month 2014 thread.

Cheers Mike, the camera that I use is the GoPro hero 2 and I won a Garmin Virb on FB a few weeks back so the footage on the bike is that one. As for the tripod, its just one of those small 4" jobbies which does the trick. I just use movie maker for the editing as well, would love to get my hand...

The postman dropped this off a few weeks back after winning it on a competition on Facebook courtesy of Cotswold Outdoor. And I've got to say its a tad better than the GoPro imo :cool:

Re: Bivvy a month 2014 thread.

As a local, what do you reckon? Tbh Ian, in over 20 years of mtbing round those parts I've never had any verbal of any walkers. The area between Sychnant Pass and the eastern end of the Roman Road is well used by bikers and horse riders let alone the walkers. It drains extremely well so its not lik...

Re: Another (very) dodgy video, this time it's Wales

Well done on the mileage and again like the previous posts, I enjoyed that video. Not sure if you intended it to be funny but I was chuckling at times watching it especially at 9 minutes in :grin:
Keep up the good unpolished work :wink:

Had there been a storm. What's with all the fallen trees?

Probably the gusts we had a few weeks ago. There were quite a few trees over the fire road tbh which needed a full on detour on the track to get round them

That's not too bad. How do you do the panning shots when on your own? or is it in the editing? if so what do you use please? Cheers John :wink: The panning is done in the editing.

Re: Bivvy a month 2014 thread.

Well chuffed I've made it 3/3, I was looking at the first 3 being the toughest but I've really enjoyed them. Managed a pootle around Beddgelert Forestry, North Wales for this one with potential views of Snowdon (4 mile away) but the cloud made an appearance so it wasn't to be. Some pics: http://i403...
