I visited this location early one Sundt morning (07:00) at a low tide and parked on the slipway itself. I doubt that it will be possible to fly from here once the world has woken up!It is in the coastal scenery category but could equally fit into several other slots - to the north are the buildings of Portsmouth's Historic Dockyard and the preserved ships - HMS Warrior, HMS Victory and HMS Driftwood - the Mary Rose.I was there to photograph the rilway station but the modern buildings of Gunwharf Quays and the 170 metre Spinnaker Tower are to the south with the Wightlink ferry and the buildings of Old Portsmouth and Spice Island further south and within VLOS - if your aircraft is big enough.I was there for over half an hour with no-one taking any notice.Be aware that there is a High Intensity Radio Transmission Area on the chart just to the north. I encountered no problems and suspect that the area tends to be active 9-5 weekdays. But make sure you have your home point established before flying out over the water!

At first sight these look like medieval ruins actually part of the 19th century iron stone industry. The ruins are giant Kilns once used to roast iron ore before it was sent on to Teesside furnaces. Located on the disused Rosedale Railway.

A distinctive rock formation that stands out in the middle of moorland. I reached it via a 30 mile round trip bicycle ride. The nearest parking I think would be Clay Bank car park Great Broughton

Free car parking on Marine Parade Saltburn. There is pay and display parking closer to the Ship Inn. The Cleveland Way is directly behind the Ship Inn the path is fairly flat after an initial steep climb up some steps. There is a 19th Centuary Guibal fan house and some metal sculptures on the route such as the 'Charm Bracelet' as seen being flown through in the video.

The Monument is served by Gribdale car park near Great Ayton Best time to visit I would say evenings as it can be popular for walkers etc especially at weekends.The bonus for this location is that you can reach Roseberry topping from the same car park.

Park at Clay Bank car park Great Broughton. There's a steep climb to the flagged footpath to the stones so if limited in mobility it might be difficult. The path forms part of the Cleveland Way.

Parked at Gribdale Car Park which also serves Capt Cooks Monument. I went late evening before sunset as it can be quite busy up there at other times.

Parked in one of the car parks nearby and walked over. Quite a few people on beach near the car park so I walked over to a less populated area with nobody within 40m
