Yes the Isuzu - I'm sat in it, surprisingly it doesn't affect the signal much and you can actually see the video screen which is difficult with sun on it

Anthony House. Due to the remote location this is a remarkable survival of a Medieval Longhouse, where livestock were kept downstairs and the farmer and family lived upstairs. It's been gently refurbished with grant assistance, so is in sound condition though not really used even as a barn anymore. A lot of the older farmhouses locally still show architectural clues of having a similar origin.
I wish I'd circled round the back but it was quite difficult to see the camera image on screen due to bright sun and I wasn't 100% sure how much space there was before the steep hill behind. The distance from my start point is getting on for 2km.

Big combine working in wheat at a field where neighbour will be baling the straw. This is near the coast inland from Saltburn, but still quite high up which meant it was too windy for any ambitious flying. The first bit is GoPro which is why it has sound.

I confess I've never seen a Claas Tucano in action, as everyone around here has Lexions. To be honest it doesn't look that different in action despite being significantly less powerful: the most noticeable thing is less dust, but that's because the straw isn't being chopped I suspect. 5 years ago some straw was still being rowed and baled, but virtually everyone (other than the few stalwart mixed farmers with sucklers) now just chops the lot.

While it was covering some ground in quite a large field it seemed very slow forward speed - in a not especially heavy crop. It's their only machine for 400 acres. Some of the straw once baled is supposed to arrive here probably this week. Incidentally the farm which was originally attached to those fields is to sell if anyone has spare half million plus. Because it's the 'wrong' side of the A171 and has Loftus Cleveland address this is cheap for this area. www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-35716923.html

Confusing the dog

That dog looks thoroughly un-confused to me. Clever bit of flying though.
