Where can I fly my drone in the UK and get £5,000,000 Public Liability Insurance cover? Welcome to Drone Scene!

Parking is free just to the east of the pool in the carpark. Quite a steep single road down so be careful of pedestrians and other road users.

TOAL was from the beach. It was quiet but I imagine in the summer would be much busier.

Summary
A tidal sea bathing pool built in 1937.

Reasons for Designation
Walpole Bay Tidal Pool, one of two tidal pools designed by Margate's borough engineer in 1937, constructed in concrete blocks reinforced by reused iron tram rails, is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons: * Structural engineering interest: an ambitious project because of its scale, the weight of each concrete block, and that work needing to be carried out day and night because of the tides; * Scale and design: impressive in scale and shape, occupying 4 acres and three sides of a rectangle, the sides 450 feet long diminishing towards the seaward end which was 300 feet long; * Social historical interest: provided an improvement to sea bathing at the period of the greatest popularity of the English seaside; * Degree of intactness: intact apart from the loss of the two diving boards which do not often survive; * Group value: situated quite near the remains of the 1824-6 Clifton Baths (Grade II), an 1935 lift and the other 1937 tidal pool.

History
Walpole Bay Tidal Pool was built in 1937, one of two tidal pools constructed at the same time in Margate, the other at Marine Terrace opposite Cliftonville Lido. Both were constructed in order to make it possible for large numbers of people to bathe in the sea at all states of the tide because, owing to the gradual slope of the beach and the considerable tidal range, low water mark at spring tides could be as far as 300 yards from the promenades.

The pool covers over four acres and its dimensions are 450ft long, 300ft wide at the seaward end and 550ft long at the landward end. It cost circa £7,000. The top level of the wall was arranged so that the pool was completely submerged at every tide, ensuring a sufficient change-over of sea water twice a day. Fresh water springs rise from the beach within the walls providing fresh water from the floor of the pool. Originally two diving boards were provided.

PLAN: three sides of a rectangle, longer at the landward side where there is no wall. There is a break near the landward side of the western wall. The dimensions are 450ft at the sides, 300ft at the seaward side and 550ft at the landward end.

DESCRIPTION: built of interlocking concrete block walls with concealed iron tram rails running about 5ft deep into the chalk foundation and up to within one foot of the top of the wall. The wall is two or three feet wide, about two or three feet deep at the landward side but increases in depth towards the seaward end to enclose a pool about seven feet high at this end. There are two-foot wide overflows in the top course six inches below the top of the wall so the top water line is always six inches below the top. There are four flights of steps with iron handrails and three penstocks are fitted in the outer walls in order to empty the pool, which took about two hours.

It can be a bit of a trek to the viaduct - I followed this guide:

https://gillianswalks.com/2018/01/08/ballochmyle/

Following the guide, you park in Catrine and walk along the Ayr River Way. There are a couple of fairly steep ups and downs to negotiate. They've had steps built (some of those are well over a foot high) but were a little slippery with the fallen leaves.

It's possible to drive closer by turning off the A76, but it's a farm road with no actual parking. It's single track, but fairly wide and I did see a couple of people park up on the verge to take dogs for walks. I'll stick a second parking marker in where I saw them, but I'd rather park in the Catrine car park and do the extra bit of walking.

TOAL was a little tricky because of trees. I walked a little way along from the viaduct until I found a break in the canopy and then hand launched/landed from there.

1/2 mile walk from the small roadside car park along a moderately difficult - slippery and eroded path, with steps up to the viewing platform - just outside the NT land...
The waterfall is fairly overgrown and hidden, making it a challenge to fly into the area, I would suggest an AVATA or other ducted drone with FPv... Signal strength in the gorge is ok, but satellites are not, mine dropped to 10 and was running on the sensors only, which then gave an issue over the waterfall and shot the drone forwards fast, crashing into the rocks twice before I could stabilise it and bring it back, thankfully undamaged...

I was working in the building when I shot this so had permission from the vicar to TOAL from the carpark but there is a public footpath through the graveyard so finding a TOAL should be no issue, there are restrictictions out to sea from here at some times.

Codnor Castle is a ruined fortification in Derbyshire, dating from around 1200. The castle was built in two phases, the first under Henry de Grey, who acquired the estate at the end of the 12th century and constructed the northern end of the structure in stone. Around 1320, his descendants developed the southern part of the castle, doubling its size

The twin headstocks and nearby disused mineral railway track are all that remains of an extensive coal mining enterprise carried on by Barber, Walker & Company, who first leased and then bought much of the parish of Brinsley from the Duke of Newcastle. They are a memento of both Brinsley’s mining heritage, and the literary heritage of DH Lawrence, whose father worked at the colliery. Many of Lawrence’s stories are based on this area and the people who lived and worked here.

A focal point for residents and visitors, Old Market Square is where friends meet, shoppers have a rest, and many great days and nights begin. It is the largest public space in the UK after London’s Trafalgar Square and is a major hub for the city’s social scene and transport links.

From Old Market Square, Nottingham’s shopping streets spread out in every direction. Spacious avenues provide quick direct routes across the city’s compact centre, allowing you to reach even the most distant shops in no time at all.

Nottingham’s ‘beating heart’ is also the setting for major events and celebrations including the Riviera Beach every summer and the Christmas Winter Wonderland. You can also buy local produce, including artisan cheese and meats, at the regular farmers’ markets which take place throughout the year.
