    Hi Steve. I guess I don't have your commitment mate. I never use a computer for our vlogs, I just use my phone. I never edit anything, it's just raw and unsophisticated, so not as difficult to upload. I can remember uploading at 2am once because it was an acceptable length of time to upload.

    I went away with family for a few days in Wellingborough, Steve and I had no signal at all on O2. It's incredible that we sent a probe out decades ago and it's literally out of our solar system now and still got a strong signal and yet we can't get a decent one on our phones despite the technology we have today! All the best Kenny

    It is a nightmare when the Internet is crap or nearly non existent. I had Sky WiFi in the house and that would take about 8 hours to upload a video. I'd end up going to bed lol. Nice classic cars there. I like cheese and beans on my baked spud!

    Learned what a faff it is trying to get a signal to upload when we were up in Scotland. Some amazing cars there Steve. We had a Mark IV Cortina. Our first car together. 1.3. Absolutely useless it was like driving a tank 😃😃 Those horses are amazing but people do drive too fast!! Some cool drone footage there mate. Such a beautiful area! Safe travels guys.

    Hi both. Regarding uploads etc. Many youtubers produce video in 4k hi res etc. However is it really necessary if its not a fantastic scenery etc. Also many people watch KZread on lower res screens. I produce vids if they are 20mins long are just under 3Gig to upload. But if I go to 4k my editing software cannot cope etc. I set my phone to upload from inside my pocket so when in a supermarket, pub it uses their free wifi. If its slow we setomes sit in supermarket coffee shop. When at home 3 Gigs takes 15minutes. Just for info. George

    @@wanderingbychoice I use 1080 as I find my Powerdirector cannot cope with any higher resolution. Cloggs up memory on phone, camera. Even crashes when transferring videos from camera to phone etc. When doing radio vids I lower resolution to 720p. Nobody notices. Have great adventures. We are of to Derbyshire next . But a quick trip to Braunton Locks for the day. George
