We are very lucky in the UK to have these ancient and awe inspiring places. The white horse is obviously very dear to you, I am glad you didn't choose the Cerne Abbas Giant as your logo. All the best, Jim.
Im so glad I stumbled across your videos about 2 weeks ago and subscribed, been watching them every chance i get, they really are compelling viewing, and your an inspiration with your positive attitude towards everything. i really do like the storm videos with the rain at night, but truthfully, all your content is good, from camping to hiking to shooting or droning. Some great tips and instruction as to whats good and whats not so good, what really sets your videos apart is the fact that you prove you dont have to spend a fortune on kit, so it makes ordinary people realise they can do it too if theyre on a tight budget. all with a sense of humour thrown in, the "trench foot" episode cracked me up, anyway, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work, i love it. all the best mate
For me Sandy ur bad weather videos r the best as i love weather at its worst an the fact u brave it an go out there an recored it for us who can not.Thank you soooo much ;) .
That must be 100m PLUS easily! Has it ever been measured? I would be interested to know! In my youth I remember driving past a similar "White horse!" from my childhood home in Oxfordshire to Princes Risborough, in Buckinghamshire... I think they were/are the Chilton Hills, but it was a LONG time ago!!! (They say it's the memory that is the first to go! LOL! :-P) I spent a lot of time cycling up and around the Wendover hills when I was in my teens to my twenties. And using a blaze orange "Bivi Bag!" (Giant bin bag, more like!) and sleep in the open most weekends with friends. I am glad you got some very nice aerial footage of your White Horse, and I do hope that you didn't get soaked through in this video? Thank you for sharing your adventures, I do enjoy them in me nice warm living-room! LOL! :-) And I really do not mind "QUAD COPTERS" (Not drones... I hear that and think of the US coming to bomb my house, or of killer bees! :-O ) but time to sign of, as I am sure you have better things to be doing. Just one last thing how is your wife doing? and your children? Have a good one ! :-) Kev B.
I actually like wild weather, it's makes me appreciate the good. Nice vid. I'll be doing a lot of TH-cam watching as I go for surgery this morning and I'm not allowed to drive for 2 weeks.
Great video as usual Sandy, Drones are a great tool for aerial photography if used as in your case skillfully and responsibly.Keep up the good work sandy,and best wishes to you and your family..Terry..
Great shots with the phantom 4 there Sandy. Weather has been rather unpleasant here too. Still not to many weeks & we might start to see the very early signs of spring soon.
Another great one! You should make a channel exclusive to your drone footage :) Not for my sake, but for the ones who seek only them.Right now I'm about to Google the history of that horse. Being from across the pond I had no idea your logo was derived from it!
Great video Sandy. As you say drones have their place when used responsibly. Footage like that was once the preserve of the likes of the BBC but is now available to the common man. On a side note.. What model GoPro do you use? ATB Mark
That was often a Sunday drive when I lived in Swindon and when I went up to London I used to come back through Wantage and past the Horse. BTW Sandy where do you live.
Well took the dogs there today to have a look. Don't think I will take the dogs again to many sheep was getting dragged to wards them as my dogs are so strong and their hunting instinct kicks in and takes over.I took the Phantom with me as I was going to fly after walking the dogs but the weather turned nasty and started snowing hailing and what ever it could chuck down at me it did.So we gave up and turned for home. As typical English weather is I'm home on the computer and the sun has come out. Try again tomorrow.Send me a message on Facebook mate if you fancy going out. Can always pick you up in the van and as you know Wiltshire better than I do, we can go where ever for a bit of filming.
Nice balmy weather for an afternoon stroll! I wonder why some are against Drones? Maybe jealousy; they're not cheap for sure. You are right in they offer a completely new perspective at least for the majority. At the moment it's a fad & that is why there is a plethora of rubbish Drone video out there. (I am not including yours). I remember when "HDR" was the "in" craze for amateur snappers. The correct name was Tone Mapping of course but what a lot of hideous over processed crap was pushed out for a while! Utterly awful! Now when used correctly Tone Mapping can be a useful tool. Soon the numbers of Drones flying will fall as the novelty wears off leaving the skies to those that are capable of producing high quality unique video. Meanwhile Drones will continue to receive bad press largely unwarranted & we will have to side-step the hours & hours of awful Drone footage. I am looking forward to buying mine but it may be a while yet as no one appears to have produced a product that is rugged & reliable at a reasonable price. That will change soon, very soon I hope as I have some interesting projects in the queue! Keep flying Sandy & keep the quality high. All the best.
I love those rainy,windy,stormy videos Sandy.....they are awesome...
Poor Elsa needs a rain coat..

Great video and a beautiful place
Simply the best. I appreciate all your work.Thanks!!!
The sunset over the hillfort was a stunning shot. I need to drag my posterior up to Wiltshire sometime, it's a beautiful county :)
Nice Sandy, looks like your figuring out the new drone just fine. It's been -20F one week here and +35-40 the next here this winter. Cheers, John

Great shots with the phantom 4 there Sandy. Weather has been rather unpleasant here too. Still not to many weeks & we might start to see the very early signs of spring soon.
Nice one Sandy this wet weather at the moment is horrible can't wait for the better warmer weather to arrive 👍
Beautiful, thanks Sandy lad
Brilliant to to the horse in the broader landscape, excellent video.
Wow, better than the ABC i reckon. Amazing footage. Makes my tummy flip when you take the drone over the edge, lol. Cheers Sandy, regards Moose
Driven past this but never stopped I wish I did
Another great one! You should make a channel exclusive to your drone footage :) Not for my sake, but for the ones who seek only them.Right now I'm about to Google the history of that horse. Being from across the pond I had no idea your logo was derived from it!
Enjoyed that bro, those sheep never took any notice of the drone so that is one thing in it's favor. All the best
Great video Sandy.

Very nice video Sandy :)
Excellent vid. Tks
that was a treat,thanks.
Great views. Kate Bush filmed her video 'Cloudbursting' at Uffington Hill in the 1980's. The video also starred Donald Sutherland .
Thanks Sandy . 73 Kev
I prefer your talking Sandy, but I do also appreciate the responsible and skilful use of a drone. Atb.
I actually am somewhat partial to cold wet windy weather. I like to be properly insulated though. Great photography.
That was often a Sunday drive when I lived in Swindon and when I went up to London I used to come back through Wantage and past the Horse. BTW Sandy where do you live.
I live on the northeaster outskirts of Swindon. Upper stratton near the ARkells brewery
I know it well, I lived in Park North then in Eldene.Worked at Pressed Steel then Vicker before coming to Yankee land in 1978.
hi sandy thanks for a good video that weather was bad mate
Thanks David, yes the weather was not nice at all. Soon be spring again:)
This one is the best of all the white horses. Although there is a school of opinion that it actually depicts a dog! Great filming anyway.
A view of Dragons Hill in the rain. Kate Bush's machine worked!!!

Certainly wasn't great weather for a walk was it.

Typical English weather you should have known better Sandy.
