Wilmington Power Station - an iconic place but protected by a fence so I had to be careful and didn't dive inside a tower (as I've seen others do).
Nine Ladies Stones Circle, reached after 700 m through nicely flyable countryside was built around 4000 years ago.
Hob Hurst's House (a burial place 3000 years old) is a rather ridiculous sight set in lovely flyable landscape.
Arbor Low Stone Circle and Gib Hill Barrow are prehistoric ritual and burial places.
Peveril Castle - situated between Cave Dale and Winnats Pass - was begun after the Norman conquest and rebuilt in stone 1170. Great place, especially in company.
Winnats Pass - flown again with a different drone - love it.
Man Tor is a crumbling mountain that destroyed the road below on a regular basis until the road was closed.
Sandbach Crosses were a surprisingly nice set of crosses from Saxon times - early 9th century.

Keep watching for two nice crashes.

Drones: DJI Mini 2, GepRC Cinelog 25 HD (GoPro 8), Rekon 5 (GoPro 6), DJI FPV drone (GoPro 10), additional footage DJI Osmo Pocket

For those who wonder about the drone after the last crash:

With the exception of the 2 crashes that was some epic flying and footage Depp.    I really thought that you were going to dive in one of the towers but I understand why you didn't.

Did you crash the GepRC Cinelog  or the Rekon 5?

Thanks.
The fence was a bit too tough for my liking and there was no one egging me on;-)
It was the Rekon that crashed and I guess the first crash when stupidly landing on a slope loosened the antenna so it came free and was chopped off by the props. That's one of the few week parts of the Rekon.
Gladly it was the last flight for it on the trip anyway. Flew the DJI fpv at the next (and last) location for a 5".

Haha, was wondering if you'd comment at all. Let's see if someone spots the spotter...

Great footage Depp,  I especially liked the cooling towers and the run down Winnats Pass,   felt like a scene from Star Wars.

I've wanted wanted to try one of those "Whoops" but I'm too old now. At least I can enjoy watching your videos. So don't take too long to put out another one.

I you want an easy transition get an Avata. With Normal and Sports mode it's easy to start.
Though sometimes it might be better to acknowledge that it's better to watch (like saltos and flic flacs for me ;-)

Hi Depp,
I think it's better for me to enjoy your videos especially between my limited motor skills now and having limited funds. I still fly RC planes too and that has been more challenging that my Mavic.

Thanks.
Yeah, well, that's fpv. No bad damage and it was my fault that I didn't properly except it after the first bogged landing...
