Good morning, Jimmy. A dip in that canal could have been unpleasant. They don't always have the best of cleanliness. I carry a couple of tyre repair foam bottles. They have got me out of trouble more than once. 👍

Good afternoon, Jimmy. Noce scenery there, a shame about the weather. Still, it's nice to get suntan-sunburn every now and then. Parking is getting worse from what I've seen. Most of Amble is no overnight parking. Given the place is tourist focused now you'd expect the parking facilities to be better. There was a huge drone out this morning. Im not sure who operated it, possibly the harbour commission. It looked to be taking water samples or temperature testing. There was a dipping pod on it, lowerd down on a cable. 👍
@jamesstringer8172 Ай бұрын
Hiya Lee, Sorry for the slow reply, I thought I'd already replied (which I had ) until I realised my internet had gone down and it hadn't sent. Yes, the park-up at Amble has been on and off all year, shame really, I hope this trend of closing park-ups stops soon. My 1st drone ( a few years ago ) was a larger one but there really not worth the hassle ( loads of rules where you can fly them ) my more recent one is tiny in comparison but it's great, dead clever and because it's under 250g you can fly it ( legally ) in much more places. Thanks for watching . Cheers ... Jimmy ... P.S. NC500 video's coming shortly , hope you enjoy them ...

I couldn’t understand a single word he was saying but as it was 1:00 A.M. I thought it couldn’t be anything good so told him to get on his bike ( very bluntly ) and shut the door on him.

Good morning, Jimmy. That's unfortunate. There's always a few that ruin it for the rest, still better luck next time. I see you dated that in june. There was a lot of rain yesterday. I think Newcastle to Berwick got hit. A good inch of rain in some parts 👍

Good Afternoon Lee, Yes, Unfortunately that's life, I was really disappointed though, I was looking forward to getting some amazing footage of the paramotors, it was a real shame. Rain ! yeah, yesterday & today haha, I've been editing next week's video so haven't been outdoors much this weekend, editing is really time consuming, it takes hours, or is that just me haha. Thanks for watching, take care, see you next week ... Cheers ... jimmy ...

Ah, well done, I think I saw that chippy, but I'd already eaten by then, next time I'll try the Indian ! It's not far from the chippy I went to. It's difficult when you're not familiar with a new place, by the time you know where the best places are it's time to move on haha all part of the fun though, enjoy your trip ...
