This is the version that came out of the camera. If you want to see a straightened-out version, see • Applecross Pass in 7.5... It would be good to know which version people prefer: please add a comment.
Monday 7th August 2017 was a lovely day, as well as being a public holiday in Scotland.
As part of a month-long trundle around the North and West of Scotland in our lovely old Hymer S700 motorhome, we decided to go over the Applecross Pass.
Almost two years late, I've finally got round to uploading the dashcam footage.
Looking back at it, I notice how noisy the engine is and how many rattles are being picked up from the dashboard.
Not long after this trip, I took the dash apart and rebuilt it, making the van a lot quieter.
So this is a historical record of how noisy the van was in those days.
It's is also a record of a trip over an impressive moutain pass through some amazing scenery in clear, bright weather.
Filmed in 1920x1080 HD on a Mobius dashcam, which is many years old.
The Mobius is brilliant: completely fit and forget, it starts when the ignition is turned on, off when the ignition goes off.
Unless you want to save the videos permanently, no input is needed, though it's a smart move to set the clock twice a year - probably when the clocks go forward or back.
At the time of writing, I don't know how much RU-vid will degrade the video quality: it is great before upload!
The camera is fitted to the underneath of the drop-down bed over the front seats, so sudden bumps in the road are smoothed out by the pneumatic strut mountings, which makes the windscreen surround seem to jump up and down occasionally.
In reality, the ride in the Hymer is lovely and smooth.
