Drones, Stuff & Nonsense

Drone footage of interesting places, landmarks and...

a whole load of stuff, nonsense and ramblings based on my hobbies by an aging, UK based, self confessed "old fart", ham radio user, a complete expert of nothing, master in the art of fiddling about with stuff and lifelong tinkerer!

Posh seaside town?

    Many thanks, I waited until early on a Sunday morning as the village usually has loads of people wandering around. BTW, I'm your 200th subscriber!

    Beautiful colours and the monochrome was spot on. Smooth flying as well.

    Flying through the archway could have been a bit smoother, I should have disabled obstacle avoidance so it didn't "wander" - never mind, lesson learned.

    Locally, until around the mid 90's it was known as the posh part of Walton-Clacton coastline, when it was home to mostly well-off retired people. It literally took decades to get planning permission for the first pub to be granted and caused many arguments.

    The Colne Valley Railway is about 20 miles from where I live and built on an old section of track which was decommissioned in the early 60's and used to run through the town I grew up in.

    I’d seen them building the new flyover when I’d been back and forth to London a few times had no idea a new station was being built and the tracks being re worked to fit the station in,used to work for network rail and a project like this would have fascinated me

    I go past there every few weeks and when the work was first starting I thought that it was just simply a new road layout being put into place. I drove by about a week ago and from the ground there doesn't appear to be much progress over the last couple of months, hopefully work will proceed a bit faster when the weather improves giving me a chance to produce an update video.

    Thanks for the feedback, it's just a shame that it wasn't possible to get the different times on a single day due to the very changeable weather conditions. The daylight part was shot on a Sunday morning before it opened up as I didn't want loads of people wandering about, you may also notice a patch on the grass where the circus was in the night shots taken just a couple of days earlier.

    Thanks for posting. This is very interesting. I used to know the port and its surroundings well. Many years since I was last there, but doesn't seem to have changed much.

    I hadn't been there for a number of years either - the only thing that appears to have changed since I was last there is that there is now a supermarket and retail park on the roundabout at the entrance to the port

    Yes, closed in 1964, around the same time as the Colne Valley line from Chappel to Haverhill line also closed.

    I discovered your video by chance while searching for something else. I used to know this area well and had no idea all this was going on. I left Essex in 2015 and now live in West Yorkshire. Apart from two brief visits to Colchester, I have not been back. Thanks for posting. It's really interesting.

    I also left Essex a number of years ago, returning in 2019 - a lot has changed over the years, especially the number houses that have been built around most towns.
