Log Text: I was out on Brent Tor just before 7am as the sun rose from the clouds that shrouded Dartmoor to the east, the light gently warming the Devon landscape and the dewy grass glistening beneath my feet. Mist hung in some of the valleys. It was a wonderful sport to just stop and watch the world slowly waking up, the sound of dogs barking in a distant farmyard reached my lofty perch through seemingly very still air. I looked in the church which sits on the summit there was a stained glass window depicting St Michael at the east end with the sun directly behind making it glow.
Back outside the church there was the merest murmur of some wind, I carefully set my kite up, adjusting it to catch the most wind possible. the fabric of the kite whispered that there was just enough wind so I moved out of the churchyard and launched the kite. it slowly rose into the air with only a very small pull on the line. I attached the camera to the kite line and while there was enough wind to lift the kite there was only enough to maintain the height of the camera. I ran a little way down the hill trying to get the camera to lift higher, it quickly returned to the ground. returning to the launch spot I relaunched the kite and flew it as close to the church as was feasible attached the camera, set the camera running. With a little faith I ran down the hill letting the kite line roll off the reel as I went, over the ramparts slipping down the outer sides then continuing down the field - now gently pulling the line, pulling the kite higher and the camera into the air and away from the hill. Slowly the kite and camera came back towards me, I caught he camera, then landed the kite. so impressed with some of the photos I returned to the church and put most of the money I had on me into the collection box.
I flew again on the south side of the church, the wind was still slack, running and walking was again needed to maintain the kite in the air.
After all the kite flying it, the tor was still a wonderful spot just sit or stand and contemplate and view the landscape, I whiled away a few hours here until the ambience was interrupted by other visitors and their dogs.

Log Text: This time I arrived at Chysauster half an hour before closing time, I wanted to get some more aerial photographs, I got permission. Kite and camera rushed into the air, I spent the next 45minutes thoroughly photographing the site, unfortunately the sun was still fairly high in the sky so some of the earthworks didn't show as well as they might otherwise do. staff at the site were relaxed about closing time and by the time I had finished there were still a couple of other visitors wandering around. Nice Ambience.
