@paulaparry723 Hello and thank you very much for taking the trouble to comment. I hope you enjoyed the video and that I did the fine place justice in your eyes. This is the very best bit of publishing my videos - interesting feedback! I'd really love to learn more if you'd be prepared to share? Hmm.... watching this video again (one of my earliest flights), it may be a nice idea to do it again on a nicer day & better produced! I hope to hear more. Thanx again, JimC.

@eyeintheskydrone4k Hello and thank you for your positive approval, glad you enjoyed watching, especially sub - I will visit your channel to have a nosy now! Part 2 coming up very soon, stay tuned!! Thanx again, JimC.

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 easy name to remember Jim. All the best Jim (Scotland)

@@eyeintheskydrone4k Wow! That was quick - what a magnificent place Slains Castle must have been (and still is). Have subbed and will have a longer look around your channel when get chance. Think I may remember your name too! Thanx again, JImC

@davidowen6977 Very much appreciate your feedback, I had already replied but this one seems to have vanished too. Thanx again, JimC.

@Albert-yz9yw Happy that you enjoyed watching and thank you for commenting. I'd already replied to you but it seems to have disappeared, so let's try again. I love the castle but wish there was less damage, and I like the whole area too. We can't do much about the turbines, but at least there's none around Piel yet! I'll be publishing 'part 2' very soon. Thanx again, JimC.

How sad. I learn something new each time I view it. Perhaps try to read a book?

@transylvanianvistas Thank you so much for your positive comments, glad you enjoyed my video and thanx for subscribing and like. Major apologies for not replying sooner - I lost the e-mail somehow. I visited your channel ages ago and think I subbed, will check and make sure! I enjoyed your videos and will comment further when I get the chance - I'm very curious. Once again, thanx, JimC.

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 thanks

@bestrickie2 Hello again to you and thank you again for your comment and information - always good to hear from you. Sorry I as unable to respond in a timely manner, been having some medical problems over the last few months. Did you get to the Derby Arms. Sorry we didn't get to meet. Maybe next time, health permitting?! Cheers, JimC.

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 hello, yes I stayed at the Derby Arms for three nights, I was going to go home on the Saturday but I extended my stay in Witherslack Village, headed up to what was the equestrian centre and is still a B&B. Of course, the equestrian centre/B&B was, the farm during my proud attendance at the school next door so yes, extremely poignant. I may well be going up again during October as there is someone semi-famous who works at that school and other affiliates. Get well soon my friend and yes, it would be nice to catch up.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed watching - it's an extremely impressive castle and hope I did it justice. JimC.

@davidowen6977 Thanx and very happy you enjoyed watching my video, JimC.

@transylvanianvistas Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video - I intend to check out some of your videos also when I get the chance. JimC.

Good to hear from you and thanks, I tried to let you know by commenting on a previous comment in case you didn't receive notification. There's another closer version of the same place coming up in a few weeks. Oh, I'm well sick of this game - it needs to end. Take it easy and thanx again, JimC.

Hi Paul, here's the second video of High Dam, as mentioned. Out of hospital again now!

@johnystrek5403 Thankyou very much for your comment and glad you enjoyed it - sounds like you may be overdue for a return?! Thanx again, JimC.

@atomdog4083 Thanks for your comment - there's a good chance that you will know at least some of the previous commenters on this place? Most seemed to have had a positive outcome, but you sound like you didn't enjoy it very much? Hope there was some good?. Thanx, JimC.

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 not realy , being ripped away from my parents & little sister and little brother by a bloke called mr child’s , my parents were tricked into signing me away , nothing good came from that place , we were mixed up as in boys with learning disabilities to aggression to abuse rape .

@@atomdog4083 I'm really sorry to hear that, it sounds shocking. Do you recognize any previous commenters to contact, or would you rather put it all completely behind you? Very best wishes to you anyway, thanx for replying, JimC

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 tbh I wish I had of called out to a couple of the lads but , couldn’t bring myself to do it in the end , wasn’t for selfish reasons was more to do with how they would react to someone turning up/ getting in contact from that period in there life’s . Was there from 87-90/91.

@@atomdog4083 From reading all their stories on here I'm sure they'd be happy to hear from you (unless you were a real bully!), why not try - nothing to lose, maybe something to gain? Just a thought. Thanx again for your story, hope you contact someone, JimC.

Thanx David, really glad that you enjoyed it, JimC.

Hi Paul - happy to get one over on you. Was going to message to tell you but you beat me to it. Told you I had sommat up my sleeve! Sadly back in hospital for another spell now; Many thanx for appreciation & commenting. Cheers for now, JimC. By the way, did you notice the 2 horses trundling along the path on west side?!

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 No, I did not notice the 2 horses. I have just watched it twice more and am still unable to spot them! Maybe I should go to Specsavers😊. Sorry to hear that you are back in hospital. Get well soon, Paul

Delighted that you enjoyed it. Same here - roll on summer & hope it's a good 'un! Cheers, JimC

Hi Paul, thanx for watching & commenting - sorry I failed to tell you that I'd published this one. I'm sadly currently in hospital, but hoping to escape soon (!). I don't know how many of my videos of Lakes you've already seen (worldwide currently 270 published total), but my first - of Bassenthwaite Lake was published May 9th 2020 and almost all 2020/21 were of Lakes. You already told me you only watch Lakes so maybe there's tons you haven't yet seen & maybe would like? Reason is that I have an earlier Beacon Tarn video (published Aug 20, 2020) that I prefer to this one. It was my first view & I met the Farmer & for the one & only time I think, he welcomed me and happens to be a very nice chap; I made a DVD for him as a thank you & he invited me back to his farm to make another one of Beacon Tarn - this being it. Anyway, why not visit my channel & look through all the videos to find if you've seen them? My Lakes District ones are fewer in number these days ('cos I started running out of new places to go - sorry!), but still some surprises yet to come! Great to hear from you again - are you still subscribed 'cos I recently published one from Dent village, Cumbria & Esthwaite Water that you may like? Cheers & take care, thanx again, JimC.

Hi Jim, I’m sorry to hear that you are in hospital. Wishing you a speedy recovery. I think I have watched pretty much all of your Lake District videos, although it is well worth revisiting them. I watched your previous Beacon Tarn and Coniston video again today and thoroughly enjoyed it. You obviously like the Coniston area because you have made a lot of videos there. I am signed up for notifications and was aware of your latest uploads. Thanks for the heads up. Dent is a bit outside of my main area of interest. However, I watched the video today and it is a lovely village and terrific footage. I also watched the Esthwaite flight, an area you have also previously visited. Take care, Paul

@@paulhodge2266 Hi Paul, thanx for reply. Since I recently was running out of Lakes videos, obviously I've been publishing others, like Thailand/Scotland & Wales. I know that you're not too interested if it's not the Lakes, so I try to stick one up every so often - and I thought that rather than losing you I'd check if you'd missed any of my 'old stock'! Happy that you've seen all & still enjoy them. I'm ok now thanx - shoulda gone home Sunday, Monday, now tomorrow! Bye for now, JimC.

@@paulhodge2266 Hi Paul, just posted a video of High Dam, near Boretree Tarn and thought I'd let you know as it's more in your "interest-zone" than some of my others! You probably won't believe it but I'm now back in hospital for the fourth time since February! Not happy, just keeps coming back & no clue what it is! Hope you enjoy the video - I've another one from eye level that I'll probably put up next - especially if there's a lot of interest in this one. Hope you're doing well, cheers, JimC.

Thank you so much and very pleased that you enjoyed watching. A perfect place to spend some time if you're in the area - very laid back like so many places used to be. Thanx again, JimC.

@davidowen6977 Thanks very much and pleased that you enjoyed it. To me, that's the ultimate best part of flying a drone - the unique viewpoint showing everything laid out as designed and built so long ago. Always nice to visit an interesting place of course, but much better, I think, to see the plan view. Thanx again, JImC.

@transylvanianvistas Wow, thank you and I'm delighted that you enjoyed the video - it's a really nice place. Much appreciate the sub & like - I'll visit your site when I can to check out some of your work - are you based over there? I hope that you'll look at some of my others, thanx again, JimC.

@johnotooledoggames2336 Glad you appreciated the video and thanks for taking the trouble to comment - always encouraging for me. I'd like to do this again when the water is higher and we have a true island. Please look at some of my other videos. Thanx again, JimC.

@davidowen6977 Thank you for commenting and happy that you enjoyed the video. The buildings are fascinating enough but the surroundings are truly magnificent, hope I did it justice. Pity the water wasn't higher. JimC.

Thanx for your comment @johnnystrek5403, glad you liked the views. Amazing scenery around the whole area - and almost always covered by trees, which is even more incredible. Great opportunity for a better view! JimC.

@ladyintheskyuk Thanx for viewing and your comment - glad you liked it. I subbed, just wondering - am I following you around or vice versa - lots of places the same. I'll check your videos out when back - am away, thanx again, JimC.

Thanx very much @ladyintheskyuk for your comment and I'm happy that you enjoyed this. Especially for the sub. Hope you check out my other videos. I'll take a look at your site too, JimC.

Hello Betty, thank you very much for your participation and welcome input. Amazing really just how much interest that this video has provoked, and a brilliant 433 total views. I would be extremely interested to know more of your experiences and circumstances from your time spent there - if you'd be willing to share? Since I became aware of Broughton Tower around 1975, (my then girlfriend had a working placement there for a while) I have been interested to know more. The video flight made it all seem more real. I am aspiring to do an improved video there sometime in the summer! I look forward hopefully to hearing more of your memories. Thanx again - and even more thanks for subscribing, very special for me. JimC.

JimC hope you can get closer to the building. It would be great if you could fly the drone in the grounds with permission of the owners. I am planning on going there on my bike around April but not sure how close I can get it. Some of the audit TH-camrs get very close to buildings even when the owners object strongly. Reading some of the comments some people have been on site with permission?

@@DaveBeaven-tx2tp Hi again Dave, thanx for your suggestion. I kinda have a plan that I'll have a try with, given that this video has been so popular, especially with people so personally connected to the place and their time there. Are you subscribed here? If not I'll try to contact you when I get something produced. Currently fighting some health (& weather!) problems. In the meantime please have a look at some of my other videos. Any other ideas for locations, please share. Thanx again, JimC. Any chance of a look at your 1986 photo?

I am not subscribed but I have subscribed to other TH-camrs. I have 2 emails and the second email was set up so I can comment on this and other TH-cam’s but I haven’t received any emails ( as far as I can tell) without signing out of my first email. Is your email publicly available on here? I can’t see it. I wouldn’t know yet how to post photos on TH-cam. I will also need to find the photo first. I would be keen on contacting Shaun Warburton as I definitely knew him in the mid to late 1980s but not sure if he remembers me. I had a similar issue at a past employer 30 years ago and staff can’t remember me! Getting back to being subscribed to TH-cam , I am a regular viewer to Funky Prepper, an ex army person living in Wales and I subscribed to his Chanel but haven’t received emails or notifications as I am using my second email and can’t access anything there. There may be messages but I haven’t seen anything. It’s possible Shaun Warburton may have contacted me. He is on Facebook and I believe he is the person behind the setting up of Facebook for Broughton Tower. I don’t have a Facebook account at present. Any suggestions for posting the photo online will be helpful.

Hello, hope that you enjoyed the video. What is your connection to the place? Thanx for commenting, JimC.

Its my soul place on many levels. ❤

@@SecretOfVibration I'm happy about that - did you watch my other Lamaload video? Title is "Lamaload Reservoir & WTW, Peak District". I took off from the far side and explored from there the following morning, so the lighting is better. I hope that you enjoy that one as well, and maybe watch some of my other efforts? Thanx for leaving your comments, JimC.

Yes great videos

The music is Satya Yuga by Jesse Gallagher. Don't suppose you enjoyed the video, did you? Thanx, JimC.

We didn't attend at the same time but I bet we both knew Mr Bibby, what a man, I love looking back at good times, some say it was a bad experience, I say they're soft lads, I always liked the idea that if you liked it or not we all had the same experience and we were witherslack lads

@@gravy1219 I agree and yes Mr Dave Bibby were a good guy as were all the staff though no one’s perfect. Some STUPID individuals CLAIM to have had a hard time and they STILL visit. It’s up to them I suppose. As far as I’m concerned, had a ball of a time, always wanted to give back and yes I could be a cheeky hound at times though it were never personal towards the wonderful staff.

Thanx for comment, I was lucky with the weather and conditions. Hope you enjoyed the video, cheers, JimC

@zigzagsox Thank you for watching and commenting - I'm happy that you enjoyed it. It's an amazing and atmospheric place. Very glad to have had kind weather on the day, I'd love to return one day. Thanx again, JimC.

Amazing what they could achieve in those times with the technology they didn't have! Shame it seems a lost cause in UK these days, some "Spark" seems to be missing. Hope you enjoyed watching and glad that the structure was admired. Thanx for watching and commenting, JimC.

Thanx for your comment, I hope you enjoyed the visit and your weather was kind. Please check out some of my other videos & let me know what you think? Cheers, JimC.

Thank you very much Jyotsna, I'm glad that you enjoyed it - and even more that you left a comment! It is a beautiful bridge and great engineering. Do you mind me asking where you are from/based? Please take a look at some of my other videos and like/comment/subscribe if you enjoy them. Thanx so much, JimC.

Thank you for watching and your comment, Colin. I'm happy that you enjoyed the video. I fell in love with Conwy castle many years ago when I first saw it from the road - the 'drawbridge end'! It was a real treat for me to see it in all its glory on this day. Please do check some of my other videos - from all over the place! Thanx again, JimC.

Hello to you - if you'd care to check out all the comments already on here you'll see that there are several who have visited - just reply to some of them and I'm sure they will respond. There's already been quite a conversation - I'm sure that you'll know somebody. Good luck! JimC.

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 cheers buddy will do, hoping someone reaches out 👌

Hello @zigzagsox, sorry not familiar with the term but let me guess: did you mean transitions where there is camera movement directly before and directly after the transition? If so, mainly 'cos I'm a complete beginner at video editing! Plus I was going through a daft phase when I was concentrating way too much on taking photos, so the stops/pauses were much more frequent than they should have been. Also, I failed to stop properly so a lot of the video clip start/ends had movement. Since then I've discovered a way of dealing with the editing better, reducing the photos, controlling my stops - unfortunately I was way behind with editing so it took a long time for me to realise my errors. I hope this didn't put you off watching? But thanx for the criticism - it was no fun doing the editing, I can assure you! Thanx again, please check out some others from me.

Hithere again, sorry still need to write in reply to your message - haven't forgotten! Anyway happy that you enjoyed my efforts, it's an amazing construction and I'm glad I got a close-up on a perfect day. Will be in touch, JimC!

@@FlightsOfFancy2020 No problem at all Jim, I am so busy right now.. I have not done anything here for a while.. :-)

Thanks Tony, glad that you enjoyed watching. I looked it up but couldn't find much interesting at 2:53, did you mean another time? Please check out some of my other videos if you can. Thanx again, JimC.

Hi Dave, thanx for your comment and for viewing the video. When I was little I couldn't understand why a lighthouse was so far from the sea, and I guessed that the sea level must have dropped a lot! I have visited it many times since; inside was just a little sweet shop and stairs to the top as I remember, but the sweet shop disappeared a great many years ago. What is the monument on Darwen Moor? Good to hear from you, JimC.

The Hoad Hill Monument was known as the Pepper Pot to people at Broughton Tower. I just learned that the public are allowed up this monument on Sundays so I will be making arrangements to visit it soon when the weather picks up. The tower at Darwen in Lancashire is known as the Jubilee Tower standing at around 85 feet tall. It was built during the commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The tower is open to the public. I visit Darwen a lot. I did a little research on the Hoad Monument in Ulverston and it’s interesting to note that they celebrated the Queen Victoria Jubilee there as well with a large bonfire. It’s worth noting that the Lake District mountains are visible from Darwen Tower on a fine day.
