      We entered at 3.30 p.m. and I think we left by 5.30 p.m. so around two hours including 10-15 minutes at the driving simulators. We could have stayed much longer if we had read more of the display information so I would allow two hours minimum. I was more focussed on filming the cars, components, etc. for this video than reading written information.

    June - 2024: I have been using Boot Fix Glue for many years, for many items besides shoes and sandals, with a significant success rate. I've repaired many broken eye glass frames, broken "bridge" pieces of swim goggles, broken car glove box, broken drier lint remover, broken handles on ceramic cups, etc. The one thing different (from above) that I do, is to always hold the pieces tightly together for 90-120 seconds. Also, while I have not used alcohol to clean surfaces, I do use a rag to remove dirt, and where practical I use sandpaper to scratch the surfaces to be joined.

    • @itsdougslife
      @itsdougslife Год назад

      It has been about 9 months since I last looked at it but if I recall correctly, it's as straightforward as planning an A-B route. Google maps only allows a limited number of waypoints so on longer runs you have to make these count by strategically selecting them to force Google to calculate your preferred route over any it wants to suggest. It can be challenging. I have only managed to record one video on the first 16 runs so far but I planned out the first 80 Bluebook runs on Google Maps in preparation for recording more videos.

    • @itsdougslife

      I used an older reference I found online, set up the runs in Google Maps then made some adjustments based on permitted routes in November 2022. I then bought the WizAnn Blue Book updates in December and checked them. I didn't find too many differences so I dispute that these are "totally different" as you say. The basic runs haven't varied dramatically over the years as road layouts and permitted access has evolved. The video was not intended to be a study aid for anyone learning The Knowledge, just a taster for people like me who are casually interested in what is involved. 👍🏻😀

    • @itsdougslife

      I planned out the runs using Google Maps in November 2022 and, at the time of doing this, no left turn was permitted off Aldwych into Drury Lane. Hence I chose to continue up Kingsway. The problem with recording Knowledge Run videos like this is that access to London streets and roads changes on a weekly and monthly basis so a video can be out of date very quickly.
