Some videos of day 2 and day 3 in the picos de europa
the low cam was playing up a lot so the clips are a bit sporadic, the camera then refused to work at all on day 4 and refused for the rest of the trip, however i had a backup camera called the Sneck cam of which you will see some footage later. anyway here are a few vid clips of various bits of the picos, some with a fly on the lens and some with rain on the lens ![]() ![]() More to come S L O W to upload Last edited by amarko5; 07-06-10 at 04:43 PM. |
