Look out for the close call with the bridge....  

Galgate Waterside and Marina is situated on the Lancaster Canal. In a picturesque setting at the edge of the village, it’s in a great location for exploring the north west, or for simply relaxing with a glass of wine on your boat.

Galgate is a well-serviced marina, and the absence of locks on the Lancaster canal itself makes it ideal if you enjoy weekend and holiday cruising. It is convenient for Lancaster, Preston and Blackpool, as well as the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.  

However, there are a couple of locks if you take a detour to Glasson Docks at the Glasson branch, which you see featured at the latter part of the video.

Hi there, thank you for reaching out. We appreciate you for sharing your experience and the remarkable footage with our DJI Forum community. Your contribution is highly valued and appreciated.

Safe flight always!

Having just lost a drone to a Canal the footage was a little traumatising.  . Only joking the footage was good.

Losing a drone must be awful...

On the first pass through Lock 1, I did get seriously close to catching the side wall, but stopped in time...

Thanks for watching Dave.

I hit a boat with the Avata and lost it to the sea,   and then lost signal over a canal and then said goodbye to its replacement.

Cheers m8. Yanni has some great music, but most of his is actually too long for drone vids, lol..

Nice area - like the bridge.

You're very welcome Paul.  I have Yanni's Greatest Hits Full Album 2020.  No doubt he is a musical genius.  

Very impressive!!!

Cheers Codger - I know the angles of lenses make a difference but it didn't look so close to the naked eye - only on the edit did I realise it was nip and tuck (collision detection was turned off for going through the tight lock space!)


Paul.

Looks nice!

Looks nice!

It was a lovely walk by the water, I spent close on 90 minutes there I'd say.
