Drone Flight Over Paignton - Jan 2023

Been itching to get the drone up for ages, but weather and time has conspired against me. Finally, on the New Year Bank Holiday, we had a day without either wind or rain!
Being a Bank Holiday, the place was as packed as any summer's day, and parking was difficult - The whole seafront was occupied. Thankfully, I managed to find an unexpected single spot that allowed me an hour, with the billy-bonus was it was a free parking place too!
The only downside to my ad-hoc visit was that I hadn't charged my drone batteries for a couple of months. They are designed to self-discharge to around 70%, so they were only carrying enough charge for a couple of very short flights. But it was enough. I was finally able to get airborne and capture a little of the winter atmosphere of the seafront at Paignton.

Thank you for sharing this! It paradoxically both helps alleviate, and also intensifies, my homesickness. Plus, I saw some interesting places I never got around to seeing.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I will be doing more of this area (and others) as soon as weather conditions (and time) allows.

So nice to see these lovely views from your drone, look forward to seeing more when you are able to fly again.

Thanks for your kind comment. I'm working on the next one as I type this. It'll be up some time in the next few days.
