Barcelona Run - Summary


In the process of uploading various clips to the my YouTube Channel.
I'm not editing much - these are for fans of realtime or slow television, just chopping out parts where the view is a slower car or Camper-van in front...

In theory these are 1080p, but Youtube does pixelate any shadows badly, and if I have just uploaded the video it may still only be in low resolution until Youtube re-encodes.

To choose a clip:
The menu top-left of the image can be used to switch between clips.
Once playing hover over the bottom left 'fast forward' for next clip and bottom right to go full screen.

To remember that first drive in the Pyrenees to Col D'Aubisque, and the generally awesome D918 - A miniature mile marker:

...and to recall the destination as well as the run back through Catalonia and all the independence flags draped from windows - My own Blue estelada:

I may yet somehow attach it to the car...
