The Vandalian Tower is a monument to failure. Vandalia was a colony planned to thrive in what is now Kentucky but politics prevented its survival. It is rumoured locally that Emma Hamilton would watch for the return of her lover Lord Nelson's fleet from the tower but there must be far better posirions to look out to Spithead and the Solent.From South Harting head for Chichester on the B2141. Between 1905 and 1924 hill climbs were held regularly at South Harting, I think that this road may have been the one used. Near the summit is a National Trust car park for Harting Down. There is a discreet noticed that I only saw when leaving saying that you can pay by phone or internet. I haven;t investigated further. Go into the car park as far as you can and go left down toward the road. Park and walk north toward the finger post showing the route of the South Downs Way. Walk left toward the road and cross carefully.Good walking boots would be useful. You will be walking in an old wood with plenty of fallen branches, leaf mould and fallen whole trees. Stay on the path for around 110 metres and look for the trace of a pathway climbing up through the treesto the open space. It may be an idea to place a marker at the point you emerge from the trees as an easy way to find your way back.Walk uphill on the mown strip with the fence to your left. There were sheep in the field when I went, dogs aare best left at home. Pick a spot for TOAL and make sure the home is properly recorded at the start of the mission, you are operating fairly close to trees.Uppark House and some of the land to the west of the tower is National Trust - the tower area is NOT!The tower is a shadow of its former self and, although you can get low over and into it it's the views of the Hampshire and West Sussex countryside that makes this agood place to fly.

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.
