Rode in Beds, Cambs, Herts & Essex, most places dry and grippy, the odd puddle, few others out and about. 4 min vid of one of the lanes sums the day up nicely Very Happy

Looks like a good day out.

I should video some of the tracks I take the Enfield down on road tyres. Had it in water up over the footpegs at one point at the weekend (looked like a normal flooded tyre track. Was not.)

Bone dry up on the 'Huggate Run' last night - the trails are still really wide as the weeds and hedges have yet to encroach, so there are loads of easy lines still to take. The soil's thin up there and the land drains quickly through chalky, flinty ground. So even when it's chucked it down, it's often not too bad the day or two after. Suits me at the moment cos my AC10s are a bit worn. It was a little *too* easy last night though.

The picture is sharp when you stop but bloody horrible as soon as you start going again. Why's that?

Try going to settings and changing quality to 720?

Though I have had trouble with quality of editing, ever since I switched to Windows 10 as Windows Live Movie Maker don't work.

Still looks pants in 720. Sad

Was this one done with the same gear?:

I thought this one seemed a bit better focused. /shrug
