This place has got to be our fave place on this beautiful island. From Newborough beach itself which raps itself around the coast to Ynys Llanddwyn, with it’s small coves and sandy beaches and the bluey aqua coloured rocks. Amazing place
Today’s weather started off grim, but cleared up towards the afternoon. I headed out in search of a few ancient hillforts that I haven’t been to before.
Chisbury Hillfort … the Mini 3 Pro got caught in the wall of rain before I could land
Danebury Hillfort … I have been wanting to shoot this hillfort for a while, but sods law, it was within a temporary FRZ, so this is as far as I could get. I will return soon.
I then met up with @Kirky Richard for an afternoon with the drones atop Beacon Hillfort. I’ve been there before, so I knew about the steep path to the summit. It’s not the easiest, and we were both glad when we got to the top.
Beacon Hillfort is part of the Neolithic network of hillforts in southern Britain. All within sight of each other, lighting a “beacon” to let the next hillfort know trouble is approaching.
From the summit, it provides great access to Highclere Castle, aka Downton Abbey.

This is Hayling Island Sailing Club Taken in between showers . The camera is looking south over the area where I live (can only get to photograph stuff within walking distance at the moment ). The Isle of Wight is lurking on the horizon to the right, the eastern Solent is the body of water in the background. The picture runs from Black Point or Sandy Point (local opinion and maps vary) in the foreground to Eastoke Point, the exit from Chichester Harbour in the distance, Hayling Island Lifeboat Station is in the middle distance and seen close up below.
The tide was in when I got back from a scan at the hospital. I had walked Maddie in the morning, done about 2 miles in the hospital corridors! so decided to nip across the field and let her have a swim while I flew. Got chatting to a dog walker while doing so, he was well impressed with the images showing up on my 7 inch tablet - we might have a convert
The Windrush River valley west of Burford on 5 February. Fun to catch it from the air, as there are no public footpaths along this bit. I love the colours in the winter branches, in many ways more interesting than the summer. DJI Air 2S.
