Drone flying around Tenby and Pembrokeshire Coastline

The weather has turned against us,  its a dreary dull day today.  We are taking  the Terrible Twosome along to Freshwater west beach for a run , and I might get a chance to fly the drone possibly.

After a good run they are tired enough to leave in the car while I have a quick Drone flight,  the weather is rubbish for taking photographs though.

   The red rocks look interesting, so a couple of Topdown shots from the drone might look good.
The dull conditions make no difference to shots like this .

Looking down the coastline I can see rapeseed fields in the distance, the low clouds and sea mist really reduce the visibility unfortunately.

Time to move on now, looking at maps on the phone ,we have decided to head down the coast to Angle , which looks like it has a small island just off the coast that might make a good subject to photograph.

Take off , the island has a large fort built onto it and is not too far out, I just have to watch out for seagulls while flying.

    Looking back at where I just took off from, the drone gives a great view of the rock formations.

Flying out to the island, I take this image.  the old fort was built in 1850s to protect Milford Haven from a French invasion.

  Topdown image of the rocks near to where I am standing, the wind is getting up so that's it for flying today.

The following morning I have got up really early, for me that is about 6 am   lol  .   I want to fly the drone to photograph Tenby Harbour , the weather forecast is looking great early before the wind picks up and starts to cloud over.
Walking around the harbour and taking the path around towards the old lifeboat house , which will be a quiet safe place to fly from.

I have flown straight out over the sea ,  just far enough to keep good site of the drone in case any seagulls get too close.      shooting a series of 9 frame panorama images.  this is the best one.

                  I have merged the 9 frames together in PTGui stitcher  , with editing in photoshop.

                                                               A second 9 frame image.

                                                              A 5 frame Vertorama .

         Time to get back to the caravan now, and after breakfast take the Terrible Twosome out .

Tenby looking great in the sunshine, but the wind is getting quite strong now and its clouding over fast.

       Now time to give the dogs a run on Freshwater east beach , Mollster has found a large jellyfish .

                                                                   Stupid Spanner!1!

                                               Back at the Caravan and …………………..

                                               Awwwwwww…………… Knackered dogs

Pembrokeshire Holiday june 2014 PT1

Its Friday morning and Jan and i with the Terrible Twosome are on our way to Pembrokeshire for 10 days .  we are going to a caravan site not too far from Tenby. I have never been to this part of the country before and hopefully weather permitting might be able to go over to Skomer to see the Puffins.   Any how after over four and half hours drive we have arrived at the campsite and set up the caravan and the two awnings , one for the dogs :)
The weather is warm and sunny so since the dogs have been in their cages all day in the car we will take them down to the nearest beach at Penally which is part of Tenby South beach .  parking at the railway station the path goes through the sand dunes and an army rifle range , hope they don't shoot Chester  lol

 Having walked the entire length of beach we are almost in Tenby , so dogs on leads as we get near the dog ban area of the beach .   its high tide now so will be a bit more sand to play on on the way back later .

                           Heading up into the town , its really nice here in the evening sun.

Looking back at the length of beach we have just walked, and!  need to walk back  Arghhh    its been a long day and feeling a bit knackered already   Ooops lol

 We have come to the harbour , its very busy in the narrow streets , Mol is not happy in crowds :(

 After visiting a chippy we are on our way back to the beach , its a long walk back to the car :(
                                 a big cabbage palm makes it feel quite tropical here :)

             What a lovely first evening here , and the forecast is looking quite good all week :)

                                      Back to the car at last , Mollster is looking tired, Not!

 The following morning we are going shopping first for food , the Terrible twosome are waiting patiently to get going 

We are now on Freshwater East beach  , there are very few people here for a Saturday , a theme for the whole week actually.    the dogs are having a great time :)

                                   The sky is stunning blue now , and its getting very warm

                                            The sea is getting quite warm for june :)

 After walking the length of the beach and giving the  Beasts a good soaking i have noticed people walking up a path high up onto the headland, so we decide, or rather i persuade Jan that is where we should walk :)                 The path is quite easy actually and the view from up here is superb.

 We don't walk to far, Jan is tired  Lol      i walk around a bit further and take this image before turning back

 The path continues through the sand dunes nature reserve where i spot loads of marsh orchids and a load of rabbits, luckily Mol is on her lead by this point .            a final image with the flowers making a nice foreground :)

                     the end of a really nice first full day on the Pembrokeshire coast
