I went out on the powertrek with just the Alien battery connected via the converted cable that onmebike made up for me just to see if there was any difference between it and my supplied battery pack. I need to add some more baffle to the mike and sort something out to keep the pod in one place but I`m quite pleased with the way the camera works attached to my body and it shouldn`t suffer any damage like that.

There are 3 parts so don`t bother if you get easily bored:D and you can always turn the sound off if you don`t want to hear my dulcet tones;)

Excuse the sniffing, it`s the cold weather and the lack of soft sleeves:)

Thanks Oldie! i have really enjoyed the clips - i've seen two, are there more? And the commentary is great.

I would appreciate a bit more time spent on introducing the bike, and yourself perhaps?

More please.

My kit is Alien, and I have to agree on the battery, although I've no experience of other types.

I once went to Sherringham down your way (We are up in the Grampians) and the hills are gently undulating if my memory serves me well. Nice countryside.
:)

It`s starting to rain here and I`ve also got to charge the battery so it won`t be today. If the weather is OK in the morning I`ll do my first run.

That`ll be handy, if I get lost I can phone you up and you can talk me home:D

Have you been out much on the bike of late?

I decided to go out one more time with the Alien and then I realised i had a rear puncture:( anyway I pumped it up and set off and then it started to spit with rain and the battery started to drop so it will have to wait a few days. but I did get a few minutes in:D
