I only heard about that on the news the other day. Why on earth do they think its remotely acceptable to pump anything other than rainwater into an inland lake, grrrr.

@@theboy-uk The excuse is they need more money and lots of it.

@@davidharle952 Money alone won't help, it needs a plan as well...

Us mere mortals don't get the special tour, LOL, I would have loved to go up. It certainly was a windy day, I almost didn't bother with the drone, but glad I did, and the mighty Mavic 3 coped well.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it as much as I'm currently enjoying your Beaches video :)

Glad you enjoyed the video of these reservoirs, and thank you for your support.

Despite being early July, it was a cold, damp, windy day! Thanks for watching and your support :)

No shortage of water in the Lake District in northwest England. Lovely place, even when the weather isn't great :)

@@theboy-uk Such views are always attractive.

@@robodrone5662 Exactly, and I love dramatic countryside, where mountains meet water 👍

@@theboy-uk Then the effect is stunning.

@@robodrone5662 Not quite as sunny as Lake Garda, but still epic 👍

Sure is a lovely place to fly, with a fabulous view. Even if it was very windy!

Oh you lucky boy - about the tour inside, not the late night foghorn - I find lighthouses fascinating :)

@@theboy-uk I used to work for the Met Office and we used to go to St Bees to check out their instrumentation. That was in the days when lighthouses had keepers.

@@StevieProton Epic 👍

The mighty Mavic 3 was really struggling in the wind, obvious from the footage that as it flew towards the sea, it was making little progress! It truly is a gorgeous area, and certainly no shortage of water!

@@theboy-uk Green colour is spectacular.

@@robodrone5662 It was set to HLG (as normal with my videos), sometimes I think this can overemphasise the green hues...

@@theboy-uk It looks fresh. Fine effect. Such places are very attractive.

@@robodrone5662 Indeed they are :)

Thanks for you kind comments and support :)

Thanks :). It was short but sweet :)

I guess 50 years ago they were a long way from the cliff face, but I imagine that red cliff rock is a form of sandstone? That erodes quite quickly. After all, its only about 10-15 miles up the coast to Dawlish, where the railway famously got washed away a few years ago!

I think you need to capture at a much, much higher frame rate, that was 60fps, and all over and done with in 2 frames!

And keeps the pilot on their toes!

Thanks :)

LOL! You can never escape. Its like Hotel California!

@@theboy-ukorfdord is lovely I highly recommend the boat trip / meal from the dock

@@MrMasterJones Superb, I'll add it to the list on our next visit down there! She wants to look at the castle as well :)

Plenty of water to hit, and lots of rigging on the boats to catch you out. Fortunately, all 3 drones used were unscathed during this adventure :)

@@theboy-uk Congratulations. Flying low is always risky.

LOL, I think there have been a few cliff collapses along the Jurassic Coastline in the last few years!

Thankyou ladyintheskyuk :)

You know me, love flying near water, LOL. I think they are wooden holiday caravans or chalets.

@@theboy-uk We both like a lot of water.

@@robodrone5662 Shame I live so far from decent rivers, lakes and sea.

@@theboy-uk Then you have to travel a lot.

@@robodrone5662 I do!

I love all coastlines, but the contrasting red and white cliffs are dramatic in this area 👍

It was lucky to capture it - as soon as I saw it and heard the thunder, I quickly turned it around and landed!

@@theboy-uk You did well.

@@robodrone5662 Sometimes ypu have to have a bit of luck as well :)

@@theboy-uk You are right!

LOL, that merman's you have to go back across the M6 for a revisit. This was done in March, so I suspect the landscape looks much greener now... ...so if you do get back over that way, I'd love to see the video 👍

@@theboy-uk The Dragon’s mate has moved to live in Ripon, so some future trips will be in order.

@@StevieProton Look forward to seeing them at some point 👍

Thank you 👍 - Gad you enjoyed the trip around these reservoirs!

Thanks, the whole area (Yorkshire Dales) is fabulous for our hobby - even on a really windy day like these clips were shot on!

@@theboy-uk If I were you I would spend there plenty of time.

@@robodrone5662 Shame its about 4-5 hours drive from me.

@@theboy-uk Quite far 😵‍💫

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the trip around these two reservoirs 👍

It certainly was a tight path up avoiding the rocks and branches.

At the time of the flight, the intention was to capture a series of waterfall and stream short videos, and create a video of them all. But didn't manage to get any more videos of other waterfalls, due to bad weather and running out of time in the few days I was in the area.

Thanks, was actually quite a surprisingly challenging flight due to all the branches and rocks :)

@@theboy-uk I would say very risky.

@@robodrone5662 Challenging, but me and my spotter were making sure it all went OK 👍

@@theboy-uk It is good to be sure 👍

@@robodrone5662 Thanks! :)

We only discovered Ennerdale on our previous visit in 2012. Its a stunning place, and away from the busy parts of the National Park. It certainly was wild on one of the days I filmed for this video, as you can probably tell from the white streaks on the water!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the trip around Claydon House :)

Thanks :). I knew you'd appreciate a bit of Budle Bay!

Thanks :). It was filmed on multiple days with both the Mavic 3 and the Mini 4 Pro. The Mavic 3 is unbelievable in strong winds!

@@theboy-uk A brick in the air 💪

40 minutes is still far better than the 4-5hrs it would take me from home (on a good day). I'm not jealous. Much 🤣

To have that on your doorstep is very lucky. We only discovered it on our previous visit, and love it as it's not overrun with tourists. I quite fancy a walk up the valley, at least as far as the 2nd youth hostel - maybe even do an overnight in it!

@@theboy-uk I’ve got a trip planned as soon as the weather picks up.

@@StevieProton Superb - let me know how it goes 👍

The Waterfront is the best part of Ipswich!

Glad you enjoyed seeing your old haunts! 😃

Thanks - I do struggle with that amount of zoom to keep the subject central!

It was a lovelyMarch day. The weather was kind that week!

I like all these old houses. But for proper posh, just a few miles from this one is one of the Rothschild's houses, Waddesdon Manor. I'll see if I have enough footage of that one to make a video - though again I suspect it would have been using the telephoto lens on my original Mavic 3, which isn't the best for quality, sadly, as can be seen from this video.

@@theboy-uk I’ve always kept away from flying around people’s homes but, sometimes I’m tempted if the place is unoccupied.

@@StevieProton Indeed, privacy plus just purely causing concern is enough to keep me a long way back as a rule.

Given that Verney Junction is probably around 1 mile as the crow flies, they probably owned the land!

@@theboy-uk Yeah, back in the day when rich people had a plan and invited investors to take a punt on that plan. The whole 19th century railway network was built that way. OK, some branches never turned much of a profit but people had a rail service in far-flung places and could board a train from Nowheresville in Scotland or Wales towards whichever Big Smog took their fancy. Fast forward 170 years and we have HS2, a tax-payer funded, government-run abortion of a project. No risk involved, a bottomless pit of money to splurge, no deadlines to meet, no investors nagging about delays or costs. The Verney family will be laughing in their graves. Old Oak Common to Curzon Street is not quite what the government promised us. All the sensible stuff was ditched early on: the direct connection to HS1; the spur to Heathrow etc ... I'm miffed not because so much money has been wasted and environmental damage done. It's the fact that, on paper, there was a worthwhile vision for the future of our railway network but the government was/is, hopelessly, not up to the job of realising that vision. The Verneys had to deliver on their vision otherwise the money would dry up.

Not many people can say they have a church in their garden, 50 yards from the house!

@@theboy-uk My family had a church named after them in Northumberland and a village sprung up from it. Kirkharle and East Harle, where my family originated from. Sadly no inheritance for me though.

@@davidharle952 Impressive 👍

Since the bird strike I got a few weeks ago on Wast Water, I've been a bit paranoid about birds getting angry. How that drone survived, and not fall into the lake, given the damage to the prop is a near miracle!

It was part of a longer flight capturing the sun, and ended before it set due to all these birds!

🤣 🤣

Thanks, its quite an interesting area, with the reservoir just down the road :)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

It sure is a fascinating place :)
