In my last post, dated 26th June, you will see that I had been preparing to take on a Samarathon - a total of 26.2 miles walking and flying my drone.
I was keen to get started so on the 1st July I walked on Brean Down - getting well and truly rained on! I then had to wait for better weather before walking Weston-super-Mare's beach on the 8th. I decided that I needed to complete the challenge as soon as possible so walked the remaining stages on the 10th/11th/12th/ and 13th. Each stage was walked at or soon after dawn so that there were few people about and thus more chance to fly the drone in accordance with regulations. Although getting out of bed so early was an effort, the experience of walking as the sun came up, and nature was so active, was so refreshing. I have collected almost £600 and I am so grateful to those who sponsored me.
The easiest way to see the videos I produced is to open YouTube and then search for my channel name - PEMPILOT.
One of my walks was along Sand Bay and onto Sand Point. Sadly the video I took from the drone was faulty. In addition my research has also drawn my interest to St Thomas' Head which is a former MOD site. I have in mind to explore that area now!

In my May post I told you about our two squirrels Cyril and Cybil. Cyril, in particular, robs nuts from the bird feeder. The only solution has been to install a squirrel-friendly feeder just for them. Only put up today we must now see if the nuts on the outside will be sufficient to attract attention.
