Great trip report. I loved all the use of video and google. I need to start doing more video clips instead of still photos.
However, I'll never develope the skill to do a great production like that.

I had in mind that I'd make a video, and did a number of panning shots to show the scenery, but most of the video planning came together sitting at the computer terminal. Finding the site with Google Earth Lakeland hikes was great...spurred me on to figure how that site was talking with GE to move the view around, and tinker with its scripts a little. Was a lot of fun! The Lake District has a special place in my heart and I wanted to show it off to my US friends who may not know of it.
Thanks for the appreciative comments everyone.

April Fool : I was thinking about staying where I was to get footage of the shepherds and dogs, but I was near this junction and thought the herders may have wanted to drive their sheep along the path I'd taken (they ultimately did). I didn't want to be something the sheep where trying to avoid and so got out of the way. What was interesting was that the flock by-passed the turn, and when the herders got to it they sent the dogs out to the front of the flock to drive them back to the turn and go another way.

thanks for the most informative TR!
some many outstanding places to see...so little time to see them <sigh>

The trip reports on here are just amazing!
Once again Grizz, you have outdone yourself! What a great job! I always look forward to watching your videos to look for ways to improve my own.

Grizz,
Excellent video and trip report! I really envy the way you tack some hiking and hangin' onto your business trips... or is it the other way 'round?
Loved "Jerusalem" - it brought back the old Emerson, Lake and Palmer days!

Incredible report Grizz. I nominate you for Hammock Forums international emissary. I love the integration of Google Earth.

Very nice Grizz. Loved the red line showing where you went, as well as the flying all over the map. I'll be impatiently waiting for the next video postcard from "Uncle Traveling Grizz".
