I think we had all three alternatives Ed, it's a VERY undulating road, not to mention extremely steep and very twisty. Did I mention narrow?

It's so steep the road builders can't get road rollers up there so the surface is quite rough.

A couple of Video's which give a slight feel of the conditions. The language in the first video is a little... earthy? Turn the sound down if you find it offensive.

35 seconds into the first video was our biggest 'moment' The road surface has completely broken up at that point now and we had a heavy landing on two nearside wheels but no big deal, the drop was behind us.

I remember charging up and over Hardknot some years back. Forgot we had the dog in the back (estate car). When we stopped the clawed scratch marks on the floor matting were a picture to behold. Almost a surreal artwork.

:lol:

It was at the Roman fort there where I first learnt the romans used a sponge on a stick in lieu of loo paper.

It sort of stuck in my mind.


:lol:

True.

Hey Ed....how about an update on life with Canon?

Would be interested to hear what you have discovered?
I am not planning on changing ships again but some people have voiced this possibility on the forum of late. Might be helpful one way or the other.

This people very happy with his Nikons as well but I do occasionally hanker after the odd piece of Canon kit!

Not singling you out Jeff....a couple of other posters earlier this year also muted a move.

To be honest, as I thin down my Nikon gear, I am also move able to change and interested (being a former Canon shooter) so get some real comparison feedback.

Although my requirement would be a lightweight DSLR system, which I suspect Canon are no more likely to achieve than Nikon.
