Its that time of year for the annual autumn Humber Bridge meet.

This is something that we have done for a number of years and is usually well attended.

The location affords cracking views of the humber bridge and some of the best sunrise pictures you can get this side of the humber.

It will be attended by @milkmanchris, myself and possibly @speatuk.
We would welcome anyone that would like to come along and will add it is usually a very well attended meet up.

We plan to meet on the Barton side of the bridge (opposite side to Hull for those that are not local) at the following location

There is plenty of parking, public toilets and a decent cafe for bacon butties and brews - menu and details can be found here :sunglasses:

There is also a service station with greggs, costa and all of the things you could need as you come off the bridge in to Barton.

We plan to arrive around 6:45 am as the sunrise should be around 7:15 am if its a clear day.

We usually hang around for a good few hours, so if getting up early isnt your thing others arrive around 8/9am.

For those that fly more FPV drones - theres always a trip across the water to the bando at the docks if you get bored of the scenery at the bridge.

Have a look at last years post to see what we got up to:

Any questions - please ask.

Hopefully see a few of you there!

There is plenty of places to fly near by.

You’ll be fine with the avata near the bridge as it’s a huge area.

There’s also plenty of space at the bando which is at the old docks. I’m sure there’s a post or two about them

Here’s a video showing the bando
