A visit up to Sparkford near Yeovil to see all the cars at the Haynes International Motor Museum, created back in 1985 and originally called Sparkford Motor Museum.
The Museum boasts over 400 cars and an assortment of 2 wheeled vehicles, motorbikes, definitely worth the travel time and distance to see an impressive collection of cars all under one roof.

This quarry was until recently still active having started up in 1876. It only closed in 1997 and was known as Tor Quarries. The quarry is fairly large and a huge scar on the landscape as it is seen from the B3357 and the hamlet of Merrivale. The Grimstone and Sortridge leat drops into the quarry basin before starting out again on the other side. The quarry would have provided granite for New S...

Blackpool Pit 2024

A quick fly around the former Blackpool China Clay pit, showing how high the water level is in the flooded pit. In recent months with all the rain we have had, it seems to have taken it's toll on the water level in the pit, although I'm led to believe that the water is monitored and drained off, the water level is the highest I've ever seen. The pit closed in November 2007 after being in operat...
The Night Sky

A short flight basically up to film the night sky of St Austell, the wind being too strong to venture away from where I'm stood, Storm Kathline has been bombarding the South West of England here, and so this flight and look at the night sky was done within a small window of opportunity in the 49 Mph wind gusts that we had been experiencing during the day, that had subsided for about an hour or ...
Burrator Reservoir

Burrator Reservoir is a reservoir on the south side of Dartmoor in the English county of Devon. It is one of a number of reservoirs and dams that were built over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. We take a casual walk down to have a look at the bottom of the reservoir and look in awe at the 5 spillways and later we have a look from above with the drone in glorious 4K, we take in the Ri...

How full is our reservoir this time of year I hear you all ask ? Well looking at my video it seems that it's on the point of tumbling down the plug hole as you can see. This reservoir last summer was at it's lowest point in years at around 22% and many of the locals had never seen the water level so low. Fortunately with all the recent rain and over the months prior to that, the water level is ...

A30 Link Road - Victoria to Stenalees December 2023 Update
Its good
But has opened this year for now in Cornwall on A30
really interesting to it all from this perspective. I drive to Victoria every day from Luxulyan as my commute to work. Roche is set to become like Radiator Springs. I'm curious how this will finally join the A30 though
I have fond memories playing down there 4550 years ago I think that British heritage or Plymouth go clean it out that could be transformed into a beautiful place to go.
Utter crap they are
Great stuff, thanks for sharing this.
Why did it close its doors as this was popular
We went to return but found it had closed its doors for good a great attraction long gone
We went there on our honeymoon 2001 loved it
Great Treverbyn if I'm not mistaken
Driving up his backside and you call him s#@T for brains.. you've got a nerve...🤡
That stack needs some conservation work doing on it -as its so unique it would be a shame to lose it forever..
A fantastic video and shocking to see how much more has gone in just over a decade. The big slab by the house you said could collapse has done so. When you see the old photos the beach came around from North Hallsands (not Beesands as labled) in one continous curve in front of the Village of Hallsands. For a 2011 Drone it is so much better than the junk i bought recent years from Ideal world and Temu. Far better picture quality range and duration. Thanks for uploading.
🌟 @Fred #legend
🌟 dude, the epic size of it, it's off the scale. So this is in Blackpool in Lancashire?
Nah mate it’s an area of St Austell and the pit is known as Blackpool China Clay Pit, but it’s in Cornwall :)
🌟 Banging footage, this is an excellent presentation. I'm an amateur landscape photographer. Do you know how much access there is to the quarries surrounding Lee Moor? Is there any right of way? Are there any abandoned quarries in the area? Thanks, and well done #datswatsup
Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it, it’s all privately owned land, there might be a public footpath that goes around or near to it, you’d have to consult a map of the immediate area, as i’m not from that county so not sure.
Another scar across the countryside, which will lead to more people moving and living in the county!
Since this was filmed, I reckon it's been replaced again but with LED
It’s not been replaced with LED yet, but they are being replaced by LED when they fail as they found that when the council dimmed then to 50% it shortened the life of the gear and lamp, so they only dim them to 75% lol
A really excellent video. All you need to do in the future is, slow down the yaw and make it smoother...
I remember walking through these tunnels in 1972; there was none of this undergrowth then, and I was able to wheel my bicycle through. King's Road tunnel had an area in the middle which was completely dark, neither portal was visible. The second tunnel had one portal or the other visible - in fact in my memory I have believed it was fairly straight. However, there was water dripping from the roof onto corrugated iron - walking in the darkness the sound was quite creepy compared to the first tunnel. The deep cutting between the two was impressive and made me feel very small. I could never visualise how anyone got down to the halt that used to exist there. Glad you answered that one. Emerging from the Ford tunnel the line went out across a wide valley on a beautiful viaduct. At that point I had to turn around and retrace my steps - access to the viaduct was prevented by iron railings. I was able to walk through the Stonehouse tunnel as well on the branch that led to the old steamer terminal at Mutton Cove. Traces of this branch can still be seen, but of course Plymouth College now occupies the site of the old Devonport station.
If you want to use the work van with one of these in. If unplug it for the day will my company know I have been in the van?
I think it’s got an internal battery backup, i put mine inside an empty bean can and stuffed it full of silver foil to try and block the 2 or 3g logging functions of it whilst driving, seemed to do the trick .
Significant progress (?) at around @10:00 you can see the “single” truck taking the mountain of spoil away to the road levelling machines further down, where the “other” truck that has tipped is thinking about going back up for another load. Watched the same in the South of France in the 70’s when they constructed the nice airport into the sea and there were “dozens” of the same trucks not 2.
Porthtowan = Port of the Dunes. Tywarnhayle = House on the Estuary. The landscape comes alive when you know what the names mean!
Hi Fred. Bit different this time, thanks. The Barbican, the best place to be in Plymouth. In our car, eating fish and chips, lol! Cheers.
Thanks Geoff, we enjoyed our ice cream’s as well as the nice calm and sunshine :)
Saw the remains of the village in the 1964 film The System and it made me want to know more about it.
This is a prime example of how not to do a video. Waving the camera about is not the way to do a video, especially in dark tunnels. Read how to make videos before posting this sort of stuff!
You know what I'm fed up with it waste of money wasted time causing more chaos for travellers ie motors deliveries and so forth you might as well put it back where it was just make it a little wider and that's it I tell you something I would not watch these ever again so please remove it now or do I have to file a complaint no further comment
Hi Fred. Been past here loads of times and always wondered about the workings of the quarry. Thousands of Tons (English spelling!!) of waste granite rock, haha. Thanks.
Hi Geoff, yes I've driven past it a few times and thought it looked interesting, but at ground level or coming down the road you can see the extent of the hole, thought maybe that it was connected to the Prison up the road, but haven't seen any connection with it :)
Sadly it shows Plymouths unkept and desolate side hidden in plain sight....but is it better or even worse today? I moved to Canada in 1976 and my last visits back were depressing to see the lack of civic pride.
There are pictures of mine on here of Devonport Kings Road, obviously pirated so please remove them, Bernard Mills
how different that route is now, especially from Carluddon onwards
great video. I've always wanted to see that pit - you cant see anything from the road as the berm does a great job of hiding it from view
really interesting to see my daily commute from an aerial perspective. well done
Excellent video and great to see the spillway in action! Keep up the good work with your videos, always interesting, even for us 'locals'!!
Thank you very much!
Like the video, hate the music....
To much aerial footage
Is certainly been rough mate
Very hit or miss mate, managed to get the drone up at around 7.45 last night when the wind had calmed down for around an hour otherwise it's one storm after the other at the moment :(
@@fredflintstone1024 yeah let's hope and pray for better weather I think we all fed up with this wet stuff in wind
Very interesting Fred, but I had to go to the bathroom for a pee three times, watching all that cascading water, lol! Thanks.`
Thanks Geoff, it’s wasn’t supposed to have that effect lol
@@fredflintstone1024 It's just the same with looking out of the window watching the rain, haha
yo i go here w my friends sometimes
What a waste of what looks like a good building... what were their reasons for moving out of it... couldn't do their shopping in their dinner hour
Parts of this video was interesting but alot of it was annoyingly rubbish... did you actually watch this video before uploading it to youtube? You could have left some of the subtitles on a little longer so we don't have to pause to read it and some of the subtitles were hard to read as they blended into the background picture and couldn't see alot of what happened in the tunnels as it was too dark.
Hi Fred. My family lived here during the war, and my three brothers went to the local school. Early 50's. myelder brother and I used to roam around Farmer Worden't fields, during the Rabbit Mixy outbreak. I'll never forget the hundreds of carcases and poorly bunnies. Farm was off Rose Hill, now South West Water, and mainly covered by housing now. Thanks.
Is this right? A UK infrastructure project being completed?
Hi Fred. Nice update, thanks, but looks a bit damp! I guess the work is a little behind schedule. Take care.
Thanks Geoff, yes the weather has been very unpredictable since and before the new year which hasn’t helped progress, apparently they are still on track to finish sometime in 2025 ha ha
nice update :) one recommendation is to render to 1080p as the 360p lets down the quality. but a welcome update thankyou.
Thanks for that, check back later as CZcams will have rendered it to 4K
What a metro tram system Plymouth could have if they kept all these lines in the city
👍👍👍
Hi Fred. Fascinating video. I've known of the Pits at Lee Moor, but never actually known what the area looked like. Take care.
Thanks Geoff, glad you found it interesting, glad the weather held out yesterday afternoon :)
Finally found the range yesterday! It's very overgrown.
Great video. I worked in Chilmark Stone mine for 2 years. It’s where the rail line leads to if you follow it across the road and down the hill.
Thanks, it’s a very interesting place, especially the regional Nuclear Bunker across the road from the transfer station :)
