I’ve had to rush some for this, it’s content for these not quality. I’m about to review my stuff from today. Dodging seagulls doesn’t make for good videoing conditions. :rofl:

The windmill at Lytham St Annes, pain in the rear to get as it is nestled between 2 NFZ, one for Warton and one for Blackpool. it’s actually in the Warton one but they are shut on a Saturday so the gave permission yesterday for me to fly today, and Blackpool were cool as I gave them a courtesy call. the other issues it is Lytham Festival this weekend and the have built the arena around it., and even though I removed the NFZ through the DJI assist it still wouldn’t let me take off, luckily or was it a sixth sense I had my Typhoon H with me.

Last time I was up there I nearly lost my Tarot 680 as a bank of fog came up the valley, thank god for RTH.:wink:

Last time I was there we were the only ones around. Yesterday it was heaving. Cars parked all over the place :open_mouth:

Item 8 - Church (with Bell Tower for Bonus Point)

Portsmouth Cathedral has a very interesting Bell Tower that resembles a Dove Cote and is known by some as Dove Tower. It has 12 bells.

My second image taken this morning with the sun desperately trying to break through in the background. This is the East Side Plaza Building, also ‘Lipstick Tower’, located in Gunwharf, Portsmouth. It has 26 floors.
