Another part of the Nottinghamshire oilfield, but unlike Eakring, this time with working Nodding Donkeys.
Parking close by, but probably prudent to ask the farmer if anyone is around to ask.

The now abandoned Oasis Leisure Centre in the heart of Swindon.

There has been many attempts and draft plans submitted to bring this once thriving leisure centre back to life but unfortunately nothing as of yet seems to get started.

We parked in the entrance to the old car park which is now gated off and took off in the car park. We did get confronted by security who politely asked us not to fly over the building but had no issues with us flying otherwise.

Llanblethian Castle, also known as St Quentin's or St. Quintin's Castle, was likely built by Gilbert de Clare in the early 14th century. Its key remains include a twin-towered gatehouse and a northern curtain wall. At its centre is an earthen mound with remnants of what may have been an earlier keep.


The site features ruins such as a rectangular keep stump, a semi-octagonal tower at the southeast corner, traces of a similar southwest tower, and an ivy-covered gatehouse flanked by polygonal towers.


Features include cross-shaped arrow loops, a spiral stairway leading to now-ruined rooms, and parts of the bailey walls, though much of these walls have collapsed or are buried.

Candleston Castle is a 14th-century fortified manor house, in ruins since the 19th century.

It comprises a D-shaped courtyard about 30m across with a very ruined wall 1.1m thick rising 2m to the wall walk from the inside but rather more above the ground outside, plus a two storey hall block and tower on the east side

Candleston's original long and narrow rectangular structure lay across the western end of a low narrow promontory, suggesting a defensive position.

The castle is believed to be named after the Norman family of Cantilupe, thought to be its first feudal tenants.

As you can see from my photos, its pretty overgrown, but beautifully located in a heavily wooded area with lovely views to be had of the surrounding area from the air

Newton is the most easterly beach at Porthcawl and is a ten minute walk from the picturesque village of Newton (several nice pubs!).

It is a long sand and rock beach backed by the very extensive and scientifically interesting Newton Burrows and Merthyr Mawr sand dunes. It is popular with windsurfers, jet skiers and power boat users so best to time any flight away from peak periods

There is a pay car park, but off season, I’ve always found it possible to park on the road no more than 100 metres from the beach

To the top right of the image in the distance you can see Dunraven, Monknash and Nash Point along the coast – all great drone locations

While walking on the South Downs I found this church in Ovingdean East Sussex by chance. St Wulfram parish church dates from around 1100 and is a grade 1 listed building. I spotted it because a farmer had blocked the road so he could move is cows form one field to another and I went to see what was going on. Church right next to the farm.

Note I was walking and not driving so parking marker is just a guess

The 12th century St Johns The Evangelist parish church is a grade 1 listed building sitting on the banks of the river Adur in West Sussex. Not a lot of parking places but an interesting church and good views of the river

A short flight on an exceptionally windy and grey day, within the Cape Wrath Range - permission obtained by phone from the range before we made the walk in and flew.

Faraidh Head is a good mile walk from the Balkaniel Beach car park, along the beach and then up through the dunes. The Sea Staks are offshore, and if the wind is not too rough can be flown, however on this day - 25 to 35mph winds and limited to flying my MINI3 Pro due to an accident earlier in the week damaging my AIR3 - I decided that capturing it from afar was the safer option.
