I nearly wet myself when I saw the first one.

67 nearly made me wet myself with laughter as Mr B stalks there frequently.   Its Bramall Hall

What are the odds,  about 1 in 10?

Very true.
After Maiden fort and a few in Scotland I had the same thought as at Roman sights: Alright, nothing to see.
That's the moment you need to launch the drone!

I don't know if it's the solar but it's Stokesay Castle, a great gem!

You lost that bet. I didn't sit at all. I was in a hurry as the parking meter either didn't work or I didn't have the right coins.
Shamefully I didn't enter the Hall either - regret it now. Happy though to have been able to fly at the spot you'll guess tomorrow and at the one you guessed yesterday because I was quick at Bramall...

Well I pointed it out to him at the time I did the POI video - you can just spot me. And for that shot he may well have chosen the same bench - It's right facing the building and barely 50 yards away.

Too high - he lost that one. I didn't sit at all, I rather hid from the person tending the garden...

The nearest one to us is Melandra - between Glossop and Mottram. I've filmed it before quite a while ago with the Mavic Pro Platinum, but all you can see is a field. There's virtually nothing left. Quite disappointing.

"Quite disappointing" - at least you could scratch it from your list...

If we get the chance  to visit the Hall next Spring, and assuming indoor photography is permitted, I'll shoot you some footage to post here .

I have to sit to fly - or at least have a wall or something to support the RC.

Yes.  It can be seen from directly above my elder daughter's house - so I flew the drone from her garden.
It's quite a while ago now so you may not have seen it.

No, don't remember it.
I've seen worse sights but it's pretty far down the scale...

I prefer that for fpv as well but by now I'm sort of okay. Near a cliff I try to have someone holding me upright.

There' was a murder there about 35 years ago.  It hit the national news.

Some things stick in one's memory. I still think of the massacre in Dunblane whenever I think of that beautiful cathedral.

Yes, some events do associate themselves strongly, in the memory. with places one has visited.
The girl who was murdered at Melandra was from the same school as my two daughters, at the time.
Her name is imprinted in my memory, even now.

Geez, that's scary. Did they catch the perpetrator?
