Round The Island Yacht Race 2018 (Cowes - The Needles) - Mavic Pro Drone Views
The Round The Island yacht race around the Isle of Wight is quite a spectacle for everyone. You don't need to be into sailing to enjoy the fantastic views of more that 1200 yachts sailing the whole way around the Isle of Wight.
This year I thought I would try and get some aerial shots using my DJI Mavic Pro, so managed to drag myself out of bed and get down to Cowes seafront around 6:50am.
The weather was fantastic for watching, clear blue skies, around 22c (at 7am!) and hardly any wind. Er.... That's the bit though that perhaps, from a sailing point of view, wasn't so good for anyone who wanted a fast race, so I think most people settled down for a nice long and relaxing day :)
It was a shame that most of the yachts decided to start far out away from the Squadron Line in order to catch more wind, would have made better shots if they were closer to shore, but hey ho.
After using one battery at Cowes, I then moved to Fort Victoria to get some shots as they sailed through the narrower channel between Hurst Castle and Fort Albert.
Then I moved onto the Needles, which regardless of the yacht racing, was lovely! Hardly any wind, clear skies, hot and beautiful views :)
First time that I had ever flown the drone right out over the lighthouse, so couldn't help getting a few to many shots of the Needles while I was there, but you gotta grab every opportunity :)
I'm fairly pleased with the end results, so now looking forward to trying to get some interesting yacht footage during Cowes Week.

Video Game Arcade Tours - The Needles Landmark Attraction (Isle of Wight, UK)
This arcade has always been amusing to us! It literally sits on the finish line of Walk The Wight (The Isle of Wight Marathon!)... So after 26 miles of steady incline from Bembridge to Alum Bay, it's time to hop on the Dance Dance Revolution lol! It used to be Supernova, now it's out of order. This was in 2017, so I hope it's been fixed up because it'll be pure redemption otherwise!

Hours: Opens 10AM Thu

Many of the arcades in the UK (Mainly seaside arcades) are called Amusement Arcades. They are typically packed with redemption-based machines with very few video games (As video games simply do not make money). As gambling is legal in the UK, they tend to include fruit machines (aka slot machines) and various other things money-making games, so video games really take a back seat in places like these. They also really hate filming, I'm not sure why because it's free advertising, unless dodgy things are taking place lol
An amusement arcade (often referred to as video arcade or simply arcade) is a venue where people play arcade games such as video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, merchandisers (such as claw cranes), or coin-operated billiards or air hockey tables. In some countries, some types of arcades are also legally permitted to provide gambling machines such as slot machines or pachinko machines. Games are usually housed in cabinets. The term used for ancestors of these venues in the beginning of the 20th century was penny arcades.Video games were introduced in amusement arcades in the late 1970s and were most popular during the golden age of arcade video games, the early 1980s. Arcades became popular with children and particularly adolescents, which led parents to be concerned that video game playing might cause them to skip school.
The Needles is a row of three distinctive stacks of chalk that rise about 30m out of the sea off the western extremity of the Isle of Wight, United Kingdom, close to Alum Bay, and part of Totland, the westernmost civil parish of the Isle of Wight. The Needles Lighthouse stands at the outer, western end of the formation. Built in 1859, it has been automated since 1994.[5] The waters and adjoining seabed form part of the Needles Marine Conservation Zone and the Needles along with the shore and heath above are part of the Headon Warren and West High Down Site of Special Scientific Interest.[6][7]
The formation takes its name from a fourth needle-shaped pillar called Lot's Wife, that collapsed in a storm in 1764.[8] The remaining rocks are not at all needle-like, but the name has stuck.
The Needles were featured on the BBC Two TV programme Seven Natural Wonders (2005) as one of the wonders of Southern England.

Places to see in ( Totland - UK )
Totland is a village, civil parish and electoral ward on the Isle of Wight. Besides the village of Totland, the civil parish comprises the western tip of the Isle of Wight, and includes The Needles, Tennyson Down and the hamlet of Middleton. The village of Totland lies on the Western peninsula where the Western Yar almost cuts through along with Alum Bay and Freshwater. It lies on the coast at Colwell Bay, which is the closest part of the island to the British mainland.
It is linked to other parts of the Island by Southern Vectis buses on route 7, and route 12 serving Freshwater, Yarmouth and Newport including intermediate villages. In the summer, open-top bus The Needles Tour also serves the village. Christ Church, Totland is the Church of England parish.
During Christmas 2012, a large landslip overran a section of the sea wall between Totland Bay and adjacent Colwell Bay, also blocking the walkway which ran along the top of the wall. The local council sealed off the affected section from the public. After a successful local campaign the council accepted a compromise solution and a new path over the landslip was opened to the public on 12th Sep 2015.
( Totland - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Totland . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Totland - UK
