Delightful Drone shots catch tranquil Brighton and Hove first thing in the morning

Brighton News – Week of 22/09/2024

Our coastline city is known for being a bustling spot with the buzzing about of sightseers, customers, and local people. Yet, in the early mornings, as summer floats into pre-winter, Brighton and Hove can be exceptionally tranquil. Camera club part Dave Bricklayer got his drone out to catch dawn over the city to enjoy the harmony.

Sussex Square and the sun ascending over Brighton. He utilises a DJI Little 2, a drone that weighs under 250g, and the guidelines are more loose so he can fly it nearer to developed regions. It implies Dave can offer intriguing viewpoints of the city.

The A259 Marine Procession in Kemp Town is decidedly vacant, and Hove Yards are abandoned in his shots. Clear skies make for extraordinary perspectives in the snaps, with only a couple of little mists and fume trails to be seen. Hove seen from the ocean picture gives another point of view on the city in general, with the Downs apparent from the ocean.

The orange sun ascending over somewhere far off cast Roedean School in a brilliant sparkle, and the marina vehicle leaves, typically hurling, were almost vacant. As well as the tremendous blue of the ocean, the city looks really green from above, with Brunswick Square, Sussex Square, and Duke’s Hill in the shots.

With huge pieces of Hove and Kemp Town in the photos, we keep thinking about whether any of you can detect your own homes. And that’s a wrap these are the news we have for you this week 🙂

Thousands Cycle for Charity on London to Brighton Route This Weekend

Brighton News – Week of 15/09/2024

The 15th annual London to Brighton Cycle Ride bathed participants in sunshine and a sense of accomplishment as thousands tackled the 55-mile route for various charities.

Setting off from Clapham Common under clear blue skies, cyclists weaved through charming English countryside, tackling the iconic Ditchling Beacon climb before rolling into the vibrant seaside town of Brighton.

The route offered scenic glimpses of the Royal Pavilion and a refreshing coastal stretch along the seafront. The finish line at Madeira Terrace buzzed with cheers and well-deserved rewards – medals and hearty lunch bags awaited the weary but triumphant cyclists.

Among the participants were first-timers like Joe Andrews, a cyclist from Colchester, who rode for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. Inspired by his five-year-old daughter Alice’s battle with the condition, Joe raised over £2,000.

“Cystic Fibrosis deserves more attention,” Joe shared after completing the ride. “It’s tough, but raising money and awareness is crucial. I pushed myself, but seeing the finish line made it all worth it. I’d definitely do it again!”

Ignes Ri, a recent cycling convert from London, took on the challenge to test his limits. He cycled for Mind, a mental health charity.

“I thought it would be harder!” Ignes admitted, his grin reflecting his surprise. “Coming from mountain biking, the terrain wasn’t as intimidating. It was a great personal achievement, and supporting Mind added even more meaning.”

Former Brighton and Hove Albion player Guy Butters, along with a team of fellow Albion fans, also graced the event, raising funds for the Brighton and Hove Albion Foundation.

“Finishing feels fantastic,” Guy said, his voice gruff but filled with satisfaction. “It was tough, but seeing everyone dig deep and support such a worthy cause makes it all worthwhile. We had a brilliant experience, and hopefully, we’ll be back next year with an even bigger team!”

From seasoned cyclists to enthusiastic novices, the London to Brighton Cycle Ride proved to be a day of physical challenge, camaraderie, and impactful fundraising for numerous charities.
