#12 - Something over 100 years old
Hurst Point Lighthouse
So - after the visit here the other day, when it was really windy, I was up at 3am, today, to re-visit at sunrise.
I parked up, almost no wind! Yay!
It’s a 2km walk, each way, along a shingle bank (a mini Chesil Beach), and the further I went along Hurst Spit the stronger the wind became.
Took some DSLR shots of the sunrise, and hung about for a while in the hopes the wind died.
Eventually, hiding behind a blooming big wall, I got into a low hover and then popped up into the wind. Poor MP … almost flat out just to maintain position … 10ft of the deck.
Selected Sport Mode, and pressed on knowing that I had plenty of room to drift down wind and lose height it needed.
Bucking like a bronco in the wind, it pressed on into position for the pics.
I should have taken some video … if for no other reason than to see how damned stable the gimbal made it look.
I had hoped to submit videos of all Challenge submissions - but the weather forecasts are looking even more windy for well over a week (even if I don’t believe forecasts for 24 hours, anyway. 
) - but hope to get back here for a Litchi mission I have planned.
Anyway … Hurst Point Lighthouse.
Located at the western end of the waters between the mainland and the Isle of Wight (The Solent) …
… this incarnation, of the 5 that have been built hereabouts (the first in 1786), was built in 1867.
Two of the other 4 previous lighthouses remain, though both decommissioned - and even “camouflaged” to prevent confusion, since one used to be bright red.
