The winter months are a little quiet. We still hold tied bell practises on Wednesday mornings and our normal practice on a Thursday evening. We are looking forward to our annual general meeting in March and our Spring outing in April.
In the meantime we decided to take advantage of the winter season to carry out some drone photography. There are some advantages in doing this at this time of year because there is no foliage to hide things. The disadvantage was that on the day the weather was cloudy although there was a milky sun and it was fairly bright.
The control processes are very interesting and in accordance with the CAA. The drone comes with its own helipad and instructions are given on take off and landing for safety reasons. We also notified nearby neighbours so that they were aware of the work.
We will use the photgraphs and videos in future stories about Great Gransden ringers. The drone operator was Mark George. Mark is a lisenced CAA drone pilot .
Here is a sample of his work. It shows Great Gransden church from Church Street. The drone gradually climbs higher to a position above the church.
