AUSTRALIAN
a journey (originally on foot) undertaken by an Australian Aboriginal in order to live in the traditional manner.
Throw him away foot.

Went on a short walk around taking my spark, pocket2, and mini2 to get a breath of fresh air and get in touch with nature.
The pocket2 did most of the work (poor little bugger) while the spark followed (keeping me on a leash) and the mini2 went up for a (veiled) view of the surrounds.
Of course there was more footage (pun intended) but time will tell (I'm told) if it gets to air at all.
.
At the end of this clip I encountered a small building in the middle of nowhere - I was about to take a peek inside when, with shock I realised - and I borrow from Dave Bowman in Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001 A space odessey - "My God! It's full of" bees!

Hope you enjoy

Beautiful nature!

Thank you Stephen

A great ramble Droff. It's amazing what can be discovered when just wandering about. Yesterday we went to see the Well Dressings in deepest Derbyshire

And a good place to fly, sorry nothing to fly under or through though

Sorry mr B - not familiar with Derbyshire - They have a deep well dressed well?  Well this is worth seeing...
waiting.......

What an awesome place to take a walkabout Droffarc.  Great job on the video.  

You know, you could gear up and probably rob a little honey from that building,   

Very nice to see!

To bee or not to bee, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to face a room full of bees all yelling "Buzz off"  and thereby overcome them, or one's quietus make with a bare body

The last time I had a bee in my bonnet (helmet) some years ago on a solo motorcycle trip in the Oudsthoorn area of the little karoo I had to spend a day in a 1 man tent under a small tree for shade

Glad you think so Peter

That happened to my dad as well but it was because my brother is a honey bee farmer among a lot of other things like welder, etc and they became agitated at my dad and attacked him. He looked like that for quite awhile!

I know especially since he’s allergic to bees but he’s ok now, yes his arm twitches every now and then but it’s alright!

It twitches in the direction of a beer no doubt?

Well the twitching part was meant as a joke but I guess so.

Thank you Stephen

Hi there Droffarc. You are very much welcome and thank you for the reply. Again, thank you for your support and stay safe always. .

Always nice to get out and explore a new place.   

You know those opening hill shots look like they could be photoshopped in then it all settles down and off we go. Nicely done.

I think he was just going about his beesniss when I bumped into him. I could feel him walking dazedly around my eyebrow so stopped to take off the helmet - that was the bee's Q.
What ensued was a (from a bystander's view) comedic sequence of events that led to me almost dropping my bike to get to my first aid kit under the seat  - stupid place to store it .

Looking back you can probably chuckle a little about the incident but I bet panic was ensuing during the event.  I know I would have been panicking.

thanks Droffarc,  I do keep changing it this week.

Hope you are enjoying the 3

It certainly was an INCEDENT which made a huge impact on my trip itinerary. I had planned to go to "the Hel" in the Swartberge - a tricky 4x4 route, but in light of this beesnis changed my mind since it is not conducive to riding a motorcycle when you can only see with one eye.

A day later I did suffer an off in the Garcia pass, which terminated my trip - now THAT was panic.

Looking back - I'll do it all again - sans bee of course

You've got to love hindsight.    Sounds like you've had quite a few adventures.

Yeah! but unfotunately BD (Before Dji)

On my YT channel I am going to put together photos of my escapades as a series of movie clips

Now that sounds like a really cool project.  Go for it.

Ive used store points for the Mini3 and FMK so its literally only cost me about £3.

Unfortunately it does not feature DJI (some years ago circa 2004-8) so It will not be shown here, only on my channel

Unfortunately for me they do not supply to South Africa (I tried some months ago - hence I gave away some of my points( of which I currently have 11840)

I didn't use forum points,  my local supermarket awards points as you spend and you can redeem them at a handful of retailers, one of which sold the Mini3.
