The problem with evening runs here Richard is that the lunatics are out after work, so it's way more congested and dangerous than when they are home in bed, or preparing for work.

That's a plenty good enough reason to avoid them then Dave, we tend to forget how quiet it is down here off season at times, as you know it's a no go area daytimes for us in season.

Why are you lying into 05:00? I do miss the 03:30 starts to get the first flight out of LHR. Oh the shame of queueing at T1 till the security opened. I fall aslepp instantly on planes as result. Nobody was as pleased as I was to burn my passport in the knowledge that would be the very last time I ever flew on commercial aircraft, that was 15 years ago now and loving it  We did enough living and travelling overseas to last a lifetime. Having found our family home 42 years ago we won't be straying far apart from UK holidays and visiting the three youngsters and families.

Good plan. Air travel now must be a nightmare

No, you can't beat a lovely January sunset run over Dartmoor and back... I always prefer evening runs. There is a place for both ends of the day, but having retired 6 years ago the 0500 get ups are a thing of history nowadays  and having time to smell the roses is  ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/07/17/Morgan-Mostly-069.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/04/16/P20-12-14_12.4601.jpg) Love that sunset shot!

we won't be straying far apart from UK holidays and visiting the three youngsters and families. We are not flying anywhere till the whole covid thing has settled down ( will it ever ? ) But anyway, more people should holiday in the UK I think. The UK gets a lot of negative press but parts really are beautiful if people explore a little. We have a second trip away this year in the shed on wheels,  this time to Somerset

Yeah operating the GoPro can be a bit of a fiddle more so when encased in the mount I bought to fit it atop the windscreen, thus fouled up the set-up for one stretch of road, but as luck would have it I did manage to capture the all important few miles, which was the whole reason I had bought the Go Pro, lest there comes a time when I may no longer be able to enjoy the old Mog, I can at least re-live the memories.... assuming I might still have one such myself..(-:
I have the hero 7 black and Android phone. You can download the Quik app to operate the GoPro from your phone. You can stop, start, zoom in and turn off the camera, really handy. (Once it connects that is) Might be worth trying it out George.
