Broadband - droning on

link

Must have been fun in the past using a hammer or golf ball...

No �in the past� about it ... hammer and lob it is still the preferred method for most.

A pair of swimming trunks would have been less expensive.

I'd expect the Health & Safety issues and the Risk Assessment for that approach would be far more arduous than training for and using a drone.

And heavy duty neoprene suit too ... the Findhorn is freezing at this time of year.

At least they did it out of the fishing season too.

I think they should give you the sort of kit they use for launching lines between ships. I was on HMS Cardiff in the Channel when a line was fired across to another ship for a towing exercise. It's basically a rifle with a grenade launcher attachment and a bit of string

Big Jessies. We swam in the North Sea.

A bit OTT for lobbing a dropwire over a couple of branches.

...but ideal for getting a line across a river.

Would one of these be cheaper/safer/betterer ?
