A great drive down the Curonian Spit from Klaipeda to the Kaliningrad border and back to Klaipeda in warm sunshine. Around 90 miles.

Nice run out to Totnes and back, it's our nearest bank now but a wonderful excuse for a run out.
The Lloyds "horsebox" visits Dartmouth twice a week but it's such a faff about trying to park and their uplink is seldom working anyway so a bit of a waste of space really. Thank goodness I do most of it online there are still a few Dickensians around that insist on using cheques though that need paying in.

A few days ago was great weather and I had to take the Morgan out. On such occasions I often take an action cam with me. From the recordings I made a small film to test a few things with my video editing program. Actually the film was only meant for my own use. But now that the work is done, I don't want to withhold it from you. As you can probably see, the trip was a lot of fun. Enjoy: https://youtu.be/qQ-2Ie6nNxUWarning: The video lasts 28 minutes! P.S.: A nice experience during the trip: For a while a motorbike drove behind me and did not overtake although there was an opportunity to do so. At an intersection I made room to let the bike pass. As it passed me, the rider showed me thumbs up and then I saw that the motorcyclist came from far away: GB! (to be seen at 05:50).

A nice drive across Lithuania to Vilnius. Early rain and poor roads. But sunshine towards the end of the day. 261 miles.

Michael, you have very nice roads with almost no traffic at the time of filming. Being most of it in the woods have you to take a lot of wild game into account during dusk time?

The trip was around noon, when there was hardly any game to be expected. In the twilight it looks of course different. I often think of the accident you had and the consequences.

MichaelP - that is a fan-ruddy-tastic video. Great editing, even better soundtrack (sports exhaust?) and I am utterly green with envy at the stunning roads you get to drive on!!! Where are the potholes????
Thank you for posting, I enjoyed every second of that

A delight, great roads, good scenery and virtually no traffic.
I particularly like the fact that the highway authority doesn't paint white lines everywhere and there is a minimal amount of road sign clutter.

HB, I'm glad you liked the video. I deliberately used the original sound. The exhaust is the standard one (Plus 4 year of construction 2018), with which I am very satisfied. The roads in Austria are mostly in quite good condition. Combined with beautiful landscapes from lowlands to high mountains it is a wonderful country for Morgans.
