There’s a TOAL and parking marker on the map already, but if Jon @cadrepilot took off from somewhere else it’d be great if he could add more useful markers
I’ve added markers for parking and TOAL.
I parked at the Gunpark, Free Public Parking, on B6090 and walked in.
I walked in past the estate to a 3-pronged fork in the road. Left is private, right goes to visitor parking, center is a path along a fenceline. I took the path along the fence. At just under 150 meters, the fence cuts to the right/south, and I followed it for a bit (perhaps 30m) on the side away/east from the estate. That put me about centered with the estate, just outside the fence and away from anyone’s interested. Gave me a good VLOS of my my drone while flying, too.
There’s a good take off point just to the south of Nether Haugh (on the junction of The Tops, Rig Lane and Back Lane) and if you head towards the mausoleum you can get this photo.
