Another viewer sent by DCR checking in - what a great video and accomplishment Matt, thanks for putting it together. One of my biggest admirations of people like you is on top of the actual "getting it done", it's all the looping backwards and forwards you must have to do to get those scenic third person shots. I could never bring myself to do those extra kilometres, let alone the mental capacity it must take to think about those shots while you're 42 hours deep into day 391. So glad that people like you do that, though, so we can live vicariously through you and experience an amazing trip.
