Around Margate (Secound Edit)

A drone flight at atractions around Margate in Kent. From Dreamland theme park to the Harbour and beach, Anthony Gormley sculpture in the sea.
The weather was dull and cold.

Good results on a misty murky sort of day that I wouldn’t have considered good for filming. I need to get out and fly more, even when it isn’t sunny, don’t I?

Try a night flight, get some fireworks

The problem with sunny days is the sun maybe shinning but the wind is howling.:rofl:. Get out there. My problem, I live in the Solent airport red zone, can’t even fly in the garden :grimacing:

I can fly legally from my patio but I don’t think I would. I’ve got open spaces in parks a short walk away and am a bit concious of bothering the neighbours, the noise issue, and invading privacy. And there are VLOS-interrupting trees, posts, telephone cables and all sorts of obstacles. I suspect most urban pilots have the same issues, certainly inner-city denizens like me!

Although I have always found Sherburn and East Leeds (Church Fenton to me and you) to be very accommodating

I know but I also have someone local that no matter if I get permission, always complains if I share a video

Karen Facebook no doubt

Given your background, yorkie, this sounds to me a lot like bullying, and having suffered at their hands I don’t like bullies at all. My advice would be to fly (with permission) anyway and ignore the complaints, perhaps calling the person out on his/her behaviour in the comments with your posted videos, but I appreciate your need to avoid confrontation. As the abuse is consequent to your posting videos rather than being ‘on the ground’ face-to-face distractive interference confrontation when you are flying (which is something you might be able to bring the police in on), it is the more pernicious and cowardly. And harder to defend yourself against. Some people are just plain scum, and, sadly, scum tends to rise to the top, and call itself cream…

Was on YouTube one of them, I don’t share vids on FB

Well said that man. At the end of the day, the air above any property is covered by the CAA. So long as you are not spying on your neighbours gardens, just keep flying and enjoy :wink:

Love the video - so much better than my recent feeble attempt. I note you didn’t feature the Turner. Any particular reason?
