Hi mate, absolutely loved this video. I also love Riverside and that general area across the river Medway, it's a place I've grown up with and know well. I know the history of some of the abandoned boats there, such as the Waterloo next to Horrid Hill which showed up when I was about 5 years old. That tug dates back to the late 1800s and was used to transport items to London. There's the Aberdeen minesweeper near Motney Hill too. I'd like to get to see and research more of them. I'd also love to get into drones to capture footage like this. My key focus would be abandoned things stuck in time and local history. I know next to nothing about drones though and am wondering where to start. I'm technically minded though and learn fast ;) Any advice? Budget? What are you using to capture the footage in this vid? Thanks for your help :)

Great video! George, I am curious about the long slim wooden ship wreck that can be seen aprox. 4000' east of Darnet fort. It is about 250' long, and 45' wide. Is it Roman, or Viking? Does any one know anything about it?

If you’ve got more trips planned in this area, it would be good to see the combined road/rail bridge over to Sheppey and perhaps, if you’ve got enough battery power left, a run along the edge of the island itself?

I do hope to get more air time in when this weather improves lol. The Sheppey Crossing is on my list of "must do's" & a few other places around the island. I would like to fly around Dead Mans Island, but I will get closer in my Kayak so I dont run out of power. :)

There are two forts in the Medway estuary, Hoo and Darnet, Hoo is the fort on the large Island on the left in the video. It has been going through a very long process, over 40 years, of reclamation. These old barges are used to protect the island from further erosion as is the natural process in an estuary. Hoo island is almost completely ringed with these old barges. They are not so visible today because dredged sediment from the river is spread over the island to reclaim it and the barges are sometimes covered during this process. Hoo island is used by a youth outdoor organisation for camping trips etc. Darnet fort has not seen the same level of preservation and the island it sits on is getting smaller by the year. I had hopes of buying these forts myself and refurbishing them but then life got in the way. Nice video, thanks.

Wow, something magic about this comment. I was born in the 80s in Medway and have lived all over Kent and I'm back in Medway now. I can only imagine how much has changed since your time in the 70s. During lockdown I uncovered a lot of my grandads photography and art and two particular pictures - a snap from perhaps the 20s (his teens) from the middle of Gillingham high street looking towards the train station, and another in exactly the same place from the 80s (just years before his death). I'm going to take a 2020 shot with my SLR from where he took his. Time hasn't been kind to the Medway towns as far as humanity goes, if you ask me. However, there is so much beauty and history to be found, often hidden in plain sight. Riverside here is one of those places. High streets are dead, we are housing the overspill of disrespectful louts of London and places are lacking investment outside of shopping malls and such stuff. If you look past the surface, there's plenty of hidden gems around these parts. Most of them you'll no doubt remember well from before your move, long before I was even born.
