Surrey TV news stories from: Godalming!

We went to Godalming this week to film around this lovely town deep in the gorgeous Surrey countryside.

Snowing In Godalming

Video of when it was snowing in the picturesque town of Godalming. I took this video from my office window.

Godalming

Godalming is a historic market town, civil parish and administrative centre of the Borough of Waverley in Surrey, England, 4 miles SSW of Guildford, traversing the banks of the River Wey in a hilly, heavily wooded part of the outer London commuter belt and Green Belt which is the Greensand Ridge. Godalming is 30.5 mi southwest of London and shares a three-way twinning arrangement with the towns of Joigny in France and Mayen in Germany. Friendship links are in place with the state of Georgia and Moscow. James Oglethorpe of Godalming was the founder of the colony of Georgia.
Godalming is regarded as an expensive residential town, partly due to its visual appeal, favourable transport links and high proportion of private housing. In recent years it has been ranked the UK's third most desirable property hotspot, voted the fourth best area of the UK in which to live and judged in 2013 to have the highest quality of life in Great Britain.

Guildford-Godalming, Spring 2013

Flight 1: The Mount, Guildford

Much excites up at the highest place overlooking Guildford, as there was competition for the skies ! Just as I was about to take off I spotted another UAV, doing a straight rise and hover at the other end of the hillside.

I took off and flew over to investigate further, but as soon as I gained any sort of height, they had descended and gone. I went looking for them in the car briefly, but no joy - would have been nice to say hello and compare notes etc - that's only the 2nd time in a year I've encountered anyone else flying a multi-rotor at the same time and place as me - they must be getting popular !

Was that you ? Drop me a line in the comments...

Flight 2:The Busbridge Copse

Yes, our second flight of the day is in Godalming, and this time I'm an interesting field close to where my parents live.

Hidden in the trees there's some rather impressive buildings...

Interesting flying here too due to almost total absence of any sort of reliable GPS lock, and the high (consistent at least) winds made the Atti Mode I was forced to fly in a barrel of laughs as I selectively allowed myself to be swept away, then fought my way back, to complete a few low circuits and a high pan climb at the end. Good things to see here include the residential area off to the left, the junior forest on the right, and the epic spiritual retreat just beyond the tall treeline.

A lot of wind making things very shaky at times.

Engaged GPS lock just as I was about to get blown into one such tree (as I was distracted by someone's dog as it tried to jump all over me) and to my relief it kicked in and had by then found enough of the satellites that had eluded it so effectively on the ground, to be able to lock it in place in the air, and save the day, until dogs were on leads and I could guide her back down, undistracted.
