COASTAL FLIGHT VIDEO (NORTHUMBERLAND)

[Paris Dakar]

chesterflyer,

If the North Sea was a few degrees warmer and our summers a few degrees hotter - folk would be crazy going abroad with beaches like that

It's a route I love flying, and a one we used to explore on two wheels as a youngster. My grandparents had a bungalow on the dunes at Cresswell, my father had a small powered off-road motorbike (back in the days when it wasn't frowned upon to ride a bike on the beach) and we used to see how far we could travel up the coast before inlets/outlets stopped us.

Nice video

Paris Dakar,

Thanks for that. I had great hopes for global warming but even that does not look promising! We had a fly in this year at Druridge right next to the beach in the field just north of the country park. Lots of fun and we hope to do it next year with lots more aircraft. In reality the field is 800m long.

I suppose we dont know how lucky we are having such a beautiful coastline. Perhaps we take it for granted up in our part of the world!

Best Regards

Great piece of film of a lovely piece of unspoilt coastline.......good to see it from the air as I spend most of my day at "Scottish Information" talking to folk as they fly up and down that piece of airspace.....give me a call next time on 119.875. :-)

Fisbangwallop,

Will do and I plan to do some more footage of this area and just ordered a new camera which I can mount on my helmet so no more flying with no hands!!
