Eight Atoms in the Alps

[Bruce Fielding]

As of this Saturday, there will be a molecule of Atoms driving around the passes for about six days.

Having driven through France, we'll be based in Meringen on Saturday and Sunday evenings; Klosters on Monday and Tuesday evenings; and Celerina on Wednesday and Thursday evenings doing all the appropriate twisties during the days before heading back through France to Blighty.

PM me for details if you'd like to join us for a bit of fun.

Evening Bruce
Re: Klosters :-)) I just live down the road towards Landquart and used to work in Klosters, running a bank for some 12 years, it would be great to meet you there :-))) Where are you staying?Vereina,Alpina,or Sunstar Klosters-Dorf?

Fingers crossed for sunny weather and some atomic drives for you all ;-))

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks for your contact,Bruce.
Unfortunately I have to stay in Germany because my wife had a little accident at work, so for the time
being I am a "home-worker" plus driving her daily to the Doctor.

Hava a cracking time in the mountains :-)))

Rainer and Dot

[Bruce Fielding]

We certainly did!

It's lovely to get out in the hills in the Atom. It's just made for those roads.

I think the sight of one or two Atoms was pretty unusual. Eight was a jaw dropper every time!

I'll be back in the VERY near future - possibly next week, but just one Atom!

I wish your wife better, Rainer!

Hey Bruce.

Must have been epic!

Any chance of a few pictures?

[Bruce Fielding]

I didn't really take any this trip. I have lots from previous trips - I'll see what I can hoik out. I was also experimenting with a new GoPro HD which looks amazing. I'll have a play with some editing in a few days...

[Bruce Fielding]

Here's one taken in the car park at the bottom of the series of lifts that ends up at the Schilthorn.

Looks great. The Swiss must have wondered what invaded them!

[Bruce Fielding]

...and a bit of video taken on a handheld iPhone 4

Or if you have time, a longer version (in HD - that phone is amazing... the vid was edited on the phone as well...)

Great videos and excellent editing. Guess you could apply for the job of Director for the next James Bond film

[Bruce Fielding]

Thank you - but the credit(s) go to Bart, whose phone it was!

I haven't got around to editing the footage I have, and I probably won't as most of it wasn't particularly good. I need to find a vibration reducing mount... the GoPro synchronises with various resonances, most of which are produced by an Atom's frame, conspiring to make for wobbly, weavy video

[dicktracy]

Looks fab - must have been a blast. And cool editing.

[Bruce Fielding]

And on the move... I think this was Albula...
