Scotland is a great place with great people -- my heart is now broken forever.
I bet it was most complicated meet to organise.
Jim, Brian, David -- many thanks for going through all the trouble.

It was great to see everyone!

Default Glencoe video - with soundtrack!

For those who are already harking back to the great weekend we had (it is midweek at work, after all), here's a short - well, 12 minutes long - video from, ahem, the passenger seat.. of my S8.

No edits made, so no claims made to the quality whatsoever, but at least it has a Scottish soundtrack

Yeah, Whisky tasting was a great end to the official part of the evening before ending up in the pub and staying there till 2:35am

Here are just the video clips which I managed to record from the driver seat.
Not the best quality as lots of shaking
My Android phone started to playing up on the way to SCO so some videos have no sound, plus in 2 or 3 of them music was really really really quiet but on the actual clips it sound really loud, not sure if its because I was holiding phone just above front speakers Apologies for that

I just uploaded the lot, no video editing or video check

Some nice views, a moment when Van drivers shows us how to overtake
Moment when famous Vauxhall lady moved off to let the 8 through, bridge Soundcheck , just really random stuff taken with one hand

Most videos can have quality changed to 1020p HD quality
Don't know why some are 320p and so poor quality if all recorded by the same camera

Link to all videos

Excellent work Connor.

Finally got around to viewing the footage I've taken, and uploaded the following, which covers just the first part of the trip. The footage is from my dashcam:

Finally managed to get the second part uploaded to YouTube after the third attempt. As before, it's a full version of the stage, and runs to 20 minutes.

I'll have to do a 'Benny Hill' version of these at some stage, with a runtime of about two minutes
