Sorry for that, it was what we were told by the tour guide, only reiterating what he told us at the time. Was still a competition though so I did get some of it right. Was also around 2004 so about 20 years ago.

I posted a photo of my late sister by the old junction with green Lane, on the Shepperton site .Where in Upper Halliford were you? We used to go fishing behind the Bugle. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

@@milkosteve Halliford Close, used to go fishing in the pits where the M3 goes across now, I remember Halliford House there used to be gardens there as well

@@alanbatt used to spend a lot of time round that estate, knocked about with a guy John Toms who lived in the terraced houses on Charlton lane, and the Evans's John and Ricky. Most of us all went to Thamesmead School. I don't remember the house, looked it up but it was demolished a year before I was born lol. I know the park as I had friends who lived in the mobile homes there.

I aim to do drone coverage whenever I visit my family just across the road from the pit. Unfortunately from Lincolnshire it is not a case of just popping down for the day, but I hope it will not be too long. I think September is a definite. It was inevitable after them trying for 50 years, and when you think of the amount of gravel pits in Shepperton's history, (even the golf course was an old gravel pit),then hopefully this one will be reclaimed in a way to enhance the area, although whatever they do with it Spelthorne CC or Parking Eye will make it an expensive day out.

I live in Lincolnshire but do visit my Mum still in Shepperton so will make more videos as and when I can get down.

When I worked at Greenhams the depth varied but was very deep in places. Reinstated the right way it could be used for farming within about a year. It has to settle enough to be workable. If left for building land it used to be 25 years before they could use it.

@@milkosteve thank you for the info 👍

What a waste of good farming land.

@@lordbrennanofsealand5772 It is whilst they are extracting, but if it is managed as well as the Littleton Lane/Laleham Road pit it can be farmed again. The EA compulsory purchased 111 hectares of grade A farmland where I live and promptly flooded it for nature! Now that really is a waste. www.internetgeography.net/topics/coastal-realignment/

They were talking about doing this when I was at school in early 70's.

As it was my crane truck in the video, I saw the devastation the flooding did to the houses and it is not a nice thing to witness. It can only get worse, since the 2007 floods we have had hundreds/thousands of houses built here, there are lots of buildings in the drone footage that were not there back then. They are squeezing them in like Sardines.

Not there, it has flooded houses half a mile further upstream, last major flood was 2007. I did a video back then but in the days pre drones. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWacdohtrqqsiJIsi=LcAZFc-zdgaXWPbA

Hi, unfortunately the Malta firework video is the only festival I have seen there.

Hope the weather is better than it is here in Lincolnshire.

Thank you. I have just seen your 'Hanging Bridge' video, lovely place you live in, I shall look at your other videos too. Take care.

Thank you. Nearly missed it, sitting in garden watching it and then suddenly remembered my drone.

I couldn't remember the year but your information narrows it down, thank you.

I have some more old videos somewhere, will have to dig them out.

Thank you, maybe should have cut it down a bit, got carried away lol.

Yes they are, I would go to the bathroom and ten seconds later a head appeared around the door. Sadly Troy passed away at home a few weeks ago, will have to change my channel name now.

Shame about the wind and rain though.

Would have liked to do more but it was so cold I had to get back in the car.

He was my shadow, my best friend and I shall miss him, he was my second Shepherd to go the same way in 30 years, you never forget them.

@@milkosteve When you have a family member like that Shepherd you only try to think about the awesome times you guys had I know I do I had to see a Shepherd die of cancer after everything was done to help her I just remember the awesome moments together and how she more or less said it is ok.

@@enriquelopez9124 Yes, I still remember my first rescue Shepherd Nina over 30years ago running on the beach every time she could, I used to be a truck driver and took her everywhere with me. Troy was just like her and they have a special bond with us, I am sad he has gone, but thankful and happy to remember the good times. I have just uploaded a video of his reaction after I came home from 2 weeks away. Sorry to hear about your Shepherd, I hope she didn't suffer too long.

Not sure what you mean. I was playing about with the manual settings with ND filters, never used them before and found the image was very blue. This was my first time out with the camera.

@@milkosteve good job ,nice video I have a hc x1 too sorry for my English im French

@@kbfilms1922 No problem, my French is much worse than your English. When are you going to post some footage to your channel?

The first we knew about it was when the music started. We got soaked on the Troll cars up to Briksdale Glacier, nice coffee and cakes after made up for it.

He was apparently a Romanian street dog and was rescued by GSDR in UK. We have had him for almost 5 years now, does not like other dogs unfortunately. We live in Louth. Fancied a couple of nights away and chose to go here.

Hi and welcome, have subscribed to your channel, maybe see you out touring some time.

Hi Tony, Almost finished doing the cuts and as it is about 11Gb I will have to upload it in individual files per shore trip. Don't expect too much tho lol We all came down with colds on the Friday, some positive luckily I am negative. Lots of them blaming the ship, but it could have happened anywhere, we just have to live with it now.

Hi, not sure of number but there are 2 pitches by the old watermill building.

Which one? I was at number 13 on corner.
