Well it’s a little under 4 weeks now before I head off to Scotland again for another 1200 mile, 5 day tour around the highlands and the Isle Of Skye and, I have to say that i’m really looking forward to the break to switch off from work for a while.

Taking in Lake Windermere, Hartside Top, Rannoch Moor, Glencoe and Kinlochleven on the way up to Fort William (camping at the foot of Ben Nevis for 2 nights), and then the ride to Skye taking in various monuments and POIs in the way there and back.

Hoping to get plenty of pics and a lot more video footage this time which I’ll post up after the trip.

Rough outline of the route I’ve got planned (Will probably take the Mallaig ferry on the way to Skye rather than take the sea bridge in both directions):

Went for a ride-out with my mate Mark today as the weather was so nice and took the Vado HD with me. This video proves why it’s important to attach a lanyard to your camera gear

Some more test footage using the Creative Vado HD again. This time i’m using slightly different settings in my movie editing software again to compare with the previous movie.

Another video taken using the Creative Vado HD. Tweaked the settings in my movie editing software to try and improve the quality once it reaches Youtube. Think it’s done the trick.

Such a glorious day today just had to get out on the VStrom and do a quick local ride. The videos were taken using the Creative Vado HD so will be interesting to see what the quality is like compared to my Sony DSC T500. Here’s the videos and the routemap (Please note: the routemap can take a little time to load when you click on the link to the route so please be patient):
