Quick flight around Thatcher Rock & the coast by Hopes Nose, Torquay.
A little fly around Meadfoot Beach and Thatcher Avenue now that lockdown is 'temporally' over. Good to get into the air again.
Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
