Great pics Ollie. How rutted was Carvacre? Curious what all the rain has done to it since I was up there. Looks like you guys had a blast and that's a not so fun spot to change a tire. That last pitch back onto the trail is just a bit steep. :o

I've seen Carvacre better and I've seen it worse. Each time I go out there the terrain changes. That's why I love it so much.

Great videos John. I love the Star Wars soundtracks. What video editing software do you use?

I have that but it doesn't work with Quicktime movies. Your Canon shoots in Quicktime right?

Buy Quicktime Pro for Windows. It'll let you edit.
