Thanks... yeah, they are a tad extreme, all 365 of them... I only went part way down as it was wet and slippery - and 2 young lads came up who were completely blown up form the climb, if it affected them that much it would have done us all in!
I will do them sometime, but certainly not that day, it was soooo slippery! Wehad a rain shower just after I took off, so I had to land and wait it out for 10 mins, then flew afterwards, I was pretty much soaked to the skin, but got the footage
Quite seriously you need to work up to that sort of climb. As a kid I used to run up the stairwell of a 13 storey block of flats. A few years ago I was at Kinbane Head and went down the steps there to sea level. I HAD to take breathers on the way back up. Now ? ........ they probably be sending a hearse.I will do them sometime, but certainly not that day, it was soooo slippery!

Yup, I have done Glastonbury Tor at least once or twice a year, and Alderley Edge too, but neither are quite that extreme... I take climbing hills slow and steady, with plenty of stops to catch breath, I am not as young as I once was...
Not a lot of folks know that the Apple Watch Fitness app has a stair climbing activity that you can use to see and record how many you’ve done. We’ve got 52 stairs in our old house and on wet days the wife and I stagger up and down to see how we get on. PS it also has an SOS button if it all goes wrong!
Gosh, I am humbled, thank you for the words, they do mean a lot, I put effort into the video's and have a lack of self confidence at times, so to hear praise is very beneficial, thank you... Yes, it is Blackbird, well spotted, the music details are in the video notes, it is the amazing Julie Fowlis, very worthwhile seeking out some of her other work - I have used about a half dozen of the older uncopywritten pieces on y video's...
Thanks... the white birds were normal gulls, I didnt get close enough to check the variety as I was wary and also the weather was wet, so I tried to keep flight time to a minimum... Got caught in one shower and landed, sheltering drone under my cardi, then when it stopped I flew for a second time, but was soaked to the skin, so didnt want to hang around too long as I didnt want to get too chilled - however I thnk the soaking was definitely worth it!
If you doubt your abilities then click on the 3rd button from the right of the top bar, to the right of "Members".
Thanks, it is a stunning place.. That house at the top is for sae, if only I had the money....
Its not so much I doubt my abilities, just a general lack of confidence and social awkwrdness that means I tend to overfocus on things in order to become as good as I can as quickly as I can. Manifests in me picking up things to a decent level quickly, but I still feel unsure and a little insecure as to whether what I do is appreciated or whether I am just bothering folks - I know I am not, but my brain sometimes trips itself up that way...
Thanks, glad it was enjoyedReally nice angles and viewpoints Suzanne
