Looks lovely si. Any video editing software should allow you to capture and clip movies then save them as mpg's.
I will be heading South from Paris in the Westy on Sunday. Need a campsite for a one night stopover somewhere around Puy en Velay; camping municipal or something like.
Any suggestions welcome

The municipal campsite in le puy is fine, just a short walk from the big rock with the church and statue that you can climb up inside of. the campsite is a long thin one with big pitchs. i cant remember what the facilities were like, but the manager was very friendly and pointed us in the right direction for a 4x4 garage who did a bit of work on the suspension for us there and then. nice big park in the town, good shops, great roads. we drove from there down the d40 following the Allier River to Chapeauroux where there is another good campsite. A really nice bit of france.

Hello
My report is finally online here :

Si, if you watch the video near the mud holes, you may be a little bit disappointed. It doesn't show your good driving skills.
Oorwullie, I will make the same trip (same trails, same camp sites) at the end of August with some Type 181 owners. If you want to come with yours, you're welcome.
