YouTube has stopped supporting 3D videos. What this means is I'll no longer be uploading videos where you choose the 3D mode, such as anaglyph, within YouTube.
I'll be uploading two formats:
Side by side 3D for 3D television / Oculus Rift
Playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvIdjZp47QFdgLVFTOLbRi8Xv1LSZwmS2
You can view these on a 3D TV, choosing left on left & right on right, or on an Oculus Rift:
Using Bigscreen Beta, view the video in full screen on your monitor, and go to My Room - Monitors, and choose 3D SBS.
I think I used to be able to watch using DeoVR video player, but now it says "Video format is not supported."
Side by side 3D for mobile / smart phones with headsets, like the Google Cardboard

Travel to Cornwall, England, in 3D
Cornwall is the place we go to for surfing in England, but if you're going to camp there during the school holidays make sure you book your camp site long in advance...
At the harbour in Padstow we went on a speed boat ride. It's £6 per adult to go bouncing around in the swells for about twenty minutes, and certainly worth doing; no booking - a spontaneous bit of fun. Padstow's also a good place to try out Cornish Ice-cream and buy surf clothing souvenirs. Also, don't forget to buy a real Cornish pasty while you're in Cornwall.
Our next trip was through St. Ives to the south-western tip of England, Land's End. A great place for its scenery and probably a nice place for a walk. You'll see many signs for cream tea. We stopped at a nursery for a popular clotted cream tea on the way back (Yummy :))
Perranporth has a big, sandy beach and lots of shops. Parking can be a bit of a mission on a sunny holiday, so you may have to drive around a bit before finding it. Then you can head to a surf shop, hire a board and walk to the beach.
Newquay has a very busy surf spot. We didn't go there on this particular trip, though. Just be sure that you know what a rip is, where the rips are, and what to do if you get pulled into one. You don't want to be like me, out in the rough sea heading towards the rocks and having to be towed back to shore by a muscular, tanned life guard, with sun bleached hair... or maybe you do?
Next we headed out to the Eden project, which has some large domes including an indoor tropical forest. At £23.50 per person it is quite expensive, but if you don't mind, then it's worth seeing. It is hot inside the tropical dome, as they have to keep it to a certain temperature for the plants. The Eden project also has a long zip wire, but you should book in advance if you want to do that.
On our way home towards London we took the scenic route and stopped next to a little hill where we went for a stroll. I was quite surprised to see the sheep roaming around freely, without being fenced in, and even more surprised at the horses that were not phased by our presence.

Travel to Alicante, Spain, in 3D
Hoping to catch our last little piece of summer sun before winter, we booked our early October holiday to Alicante, Spain, only a couple of weeks before departing. It was a British Airways package, including flights from Gatwick to Alicante and a hotel room in Suites Del Mar.
Arriving on a Sunday meant that most shops were closed and taxis cost a little bit more. A taxi which we found at the airport cost €23 to deliver us to our hotel. On the Monday morning we asked for a sea view room and they switched us to a corner room with a 270° view from the beach to the harbour at no extra charge.
The promenade Explanada de España is lined with touristy chain restaurants, but we eventually found a good place to eat Paella, called El Buen Comer.
Santa Barbara castle is definitely worth the visit. One can get there on the hop-on / hop-off bus, which I think is just a waste of money, but there's also a lift that will take you up to the castle.
San Juan beach is a beautiful, long, clean, quiet beach (at least when we were there, early in the morning on a public holiday). It's about a twenty minute bus ride east on the 22 or 21 bus. Hop off anywhere along Avenida Costa Blanca for a short walk to the beach. Take change with you, because the bus driver won't give you change for anything more than €5.
Talking about 5€, that is the entry fee, including a drink, for a visit to the Santisima Trinidad, an old replica ship at the harbour.
Tabarca island is worth a visit if you like snorkelling and having lots of fishes swimming around you. The Cruceros Kontiki boat ride takes about an hour, or you can get there by smaller speed boats, possibly including guided snorkelling tours. The beach on Tabarca is very close to where they drop you off, so you can spend your time doing some snorkelling there, or take a wander around the island. The island is divided into two halves, one with almost nothing on it and the other with houses on it. We walked around the half with nothing on it and it felt like a waste of time, so if you do go wandering, it's probably best to go around the built up area.
When it was time to leave our hotel a taxi arrived in a couple of minutes and took us back to the airport for a little bit less than our Sunday journey.
