Ford Run 6th July

OK, just for Ste, the unedited version of "The deviil comming out": clicky Irresponcible behaviour I know, but might have something to do with an audience on the far bank.

Grab it while you can, as I'll remove it in a day or two.

Lawrence :oops:

Lawrence,

You loved it!!
You would've been the same Audience or not!

You have to let your hair down occasionally - it's better than pulling it out.

L

Exactly!

Next time let me have a run-up PLEASEEEEEEEEE

Well I say Dixies and a big splash :shock:

Lawrence Im saving it to HD it might come in handy :twisted:

Only messing :lol:

Ste.

(Edited for Safety Reasons)

OOOOOHHHH how happy I would be :lol:

I sort off like splashes :oops:

dont I Lawrence :wink:

Reckon I would take a chance :shock:

Ive always wanted to rebuild an enginge

Reckon I would with a board or tarp across the front .
As long as it wouldnt upset the locals , eco surroundings and was legal ect.
But realistically to be that silly it should be a pay and play day, though the water there is often alot muddier

When are we having a P+P Day ?
Ste 3ish

We Can See you Like Splashing Around Every Time You Post !!!!
Your Avatar says it all Mate!!

But Everything we Did on that Drive was properly Recce'ed (by me and some with Andy),
Was done Safely (We stopped before Coughton and Had a Good look at the Level and I answered questions about the Road Surface!), In Fact I think I pi**ed some people off as I stopped at nearly every ford and talked about it! Maybe Less chat next time hmmmmmm

And with Minimal Impact on the Surrounding Areas/Locals (The young Boy in his Dads Arms at Coughton when we did the Splashthroughs was Laughing his head off and had a HUGE Smile!! And at No Point did I see anyone or anything damaging the Enviroment in any way)

As to any move being Legal, All of the Roads with Fords on that we went through were National Speed Limit 60Mph , We did considerably Less than that and Less than 10mph on the Green Lane

IF we had had Time I was thinking about taking all the Vehicles down Berry Hall Lane as that floods every time it rains! But even after all that rain we had, Solihull Ford was dry so there was no Fording Reason to head that way!

Rant Over

Steve

No need for a rant...

I have absolutely no problems with what we did that evening. That particular ford was the only one we "let our hair down" on (in).

Green laning is a little more contentious, in that there is an element that wants to see vehicular use of the lanes banned (we've recently lost half of the lanes that were available to us).

Ste's right though - a Pay & Play day is tempting.

Lawrence

I can highly reccommend Coney Green Farm in Stourport - especially the hill of hell :twisted:

Could turn it into another monster Fronty meet?

Oh dear, I got bored and had another play with the video footage: Clicky

Enjoy
Lawrence

Trugga..Great bit of footage.

thanx m8

Cheers Pete.

I use a Sony Handycam Digital 8, with "super steady shot", model DCR-TRV355E, which I bought for £150 from a guy at work (3 months old, only been used on Christmas day).

I borrowed a freinds lipstick camera and rigged it up on Frontera's roofrack - that captured some great footage.

Whilst it came with a USB lead, I bought a Firewire card and lead to get the digital tape footage to the PC.

On the PC, I use Windows Movie Maker 2 (that comes with Windows XP) to edit the footage.

I author the DVD's using Sonic's MyDVD that came with the DVD writer, although I'm also playing with Uleads Movie Factory, which does a better job but takes much, much longer to do it.

The video clips you've seen are reduced in size to 320x240, allthough when written to DVD they are proper TV quality (the camera will also do widescreen as well)

DCR-TRV355E

If you have a video camera phone and can get the clips to your PC, give Windows Movie Maker a try.

I hope that helps
