A wet days today, so doesn't look like much of a chance to fly the drones, so instead here is a cold feeling video from last weekend, the snow capped Fells of Fountains Fell and Pen-Y-Ghent in the Dales..

A target of opportunity for the drone spotted during our early March Yorkshire Dales trip, the snow capped fells called for us to fly as we drove along the road between them. Strobes fitted and 2 locations selected to minimise flight distance and maintain VLOS with the drone...

A cold breeze and only 4C at take-off height chilled my fingers to the bone on the 2 short flights, but it was worth it to capture the wintery landscape atop the fells - both near and those farther away in the distance...

Great views. Didn't know those mountains were so high. -and didn't know that was still Yorkshire... Name sounds Welsh.

Thanks... Yeah, it does sound Welsh, but it is one of the Yorkshire 3 Peaks, the lowest of the 3, but still a steep walk - much easier to send the drone up

That weekend's snow skirted round us here.  Great views.

Yup, sounds about right... 3 weeks to Easter, and then another 3 weeks and we are off to Scotland for a week

Awesome winter views and a stunning location at that.    Great job of braving the cold to get this footage.

You're very welcome.  No doubt hubby jumped when you put your frozen fingers on his warm neck.

Amazing footage!

Thank you... I think perhaps I should have gotten a little closer to the surface aswell, but I now know that for the next opportunity

Forget the flying AD, top marks to the fence builders.
Nicely done as usual.
