Fabulous footage 👌 Hope to fly in the next few days round there. Heat wave next week. 😮❤
@@ladyintheskyuk I’m gonna start on my “to do” list on Saturday. I’ve got a full weeks worth just waiting for me.
Spectacular flight. Stunning 👍 ❤
We were up there last week on the train. You don't appreciate from the gorund the formation of that little valley. That tiny stream did not form that valley, it's an underfit stream! I suspect it was a glacial outwash channel. Underlying rock is Triassic sandstone: you're well outside the Lake District volcanics. How do you not get copyright strike from Enigma?
@@KokowaSarunoKuniDesu Because my YT channel isn’t monetised I’m not making money using someone else’s talent. So, most artists allow that. It’s free publicity for them. So, no copyright strikes.
@StevieProton I'm in the same boat. Though I have had Copyright strikes from things I posted. I also get Copyright 'claims' from people who offer 'free' music sources, but these are usually allowed, and so not struck.
Goof grief! That's where I stayed last month!
Where did you stay? Keswick Show was cancelled coz the field used for parking was six inches deep in water. All the local campsites have been closed and all bookings cancelled.
@@StevieProton Overlooking those fields, though slightly elevated up the base of Skiddaw.
@@theboy-uk Was it Lyzzick Hall?
@@StevieProton Milbeck
@@theboy-uk I’ve just done somebody’s family tree whose ancestors farmed at Millbeck.
We've had some heavy rain lately, it seems quite calm what day was this as it's been exceptionally windy here.
@@davidharle952 Yesterday.
@@StevieProton Been blowing a gale in Aspatria.
Fantastic flight Steve. Brilliant 👏 👏 ❤
@@ladyintheskyuk Thanks. It doesn’t look that involved but it took a bit of planning to fly and then sort out six videos.
Great video but so sad to see. That landscape has been untouched for an eternity and it will never be the same again
I like quarries but they do appear to be an eyesore when they're in production. Although, a lot of them make really interesting places for wildlife after they revert back to "nature".
It could do with a good clean. I know it is coal country, but no need to go around with a layer of it all over the place.
There are a few reasons the house hasn't been cleaned. The cost is one. 😮. £££££££££££. The house is more than 300 years old, 400 in some parts and seen better days, so to clean the stone would likely damage it more. Besides this yes, Wentworth Woodhouse was quite literally built on coal and the wealth from the local coal mines on the estate, so the black dirt is a part of it's history and we love it. ❤ We don't want it cleaning 😊
Another wonderful flight!!
Absolutely stunning, one of your best yet and a treat to watch. Did you just travel from Bowness Knott car park up the valley? Hope you don't mind me following you again. I'll have to charge the bike battery and wait for the weather to improve.
Yeh, I parked at Bowness Knott and cruised up to Black Sail gate on my eBike. It's 8 kilometres and a nice quiet bit of forestry road. No cars and I saw less than ten people all day. Just how I like it - no tourists. The worst bit is the road from Croasdale down to Bowness Knott - very narrow and lotsa bends. Once you get to the Forest England carpark the road is barriered off, so you only see the odd car going to the field centre or an odd Forest England or National Trust van. Although, all the ones I saw were just parked up and empty.
Superb flight over this tranquil, unspoilt bit of the National Park. I fancy walking up the valley, at least as far as the bothy towards the far end, maybe even spend a night there :)
@@theboy-uk It’s 8km from the Forestry car park at Bowness Knott. Once you’re past the end of the lake you’ll hardly see anybody. Black Sail Hut is a Youth Hostel. I went up on my bike - perfect.
@@StevieProton Now if there was a nearby bike hire place, cycling up there would be epic. A nice 10-ish mile round trip, perfect afternoon out 👍
Cracking flight and footage . What drone are you using and did you have a polarising filter on 🤙
@@Aboveandbeyond76 No filters. The footage is straight out of the drone. I was flying my Magic 3 Classic. The final section was waypointed, so I could ride my bike underneath and keep the drone in sight. The bits at the top of the valley were about five flights joined together. I've been planning it for a few months and I was just waiting for a nice sunny day.
@@StevieProton you smashed it . Enjoyed watching
How did you maintain vlos . Great footage
@@Aboveandbeyond76 It’s six flights joined together.
Tried contacting them to see if I could visit for historical reasons, no response. Shame. Should be part of Historic Houses.
@@GodTierComments They have a website giving info of what’s on during the year. You could always visit and speak to them in person.
Awesome, loved it. Really nice views of St Bees at the beginning and a different view coming into Whitehaven. Some great points of interest along the way, good you added them.
How about a return journey, but this time along the coastline? 👍

@@StevieProton Crackin' 👍
@@theboy-uk A couple of my earlier efforts taken from my mate's boat.
@@StevieProton Decent results as well, thanks for giving the URLs 👍
Fabulous trip along the valley, mostly following the railway. What a lovely landscape.
That's amazing! How did you do the continuous shot?
It's six flights joined together. I stop each flight when the drone goes nearly out of sight and I pick some easy landmarks on the ground where the flight ends for reference. Then I move locations to a new launch point, fly back past the previous stopping point and then turn around to start again where I left off. I repeat this until I get to the end. When I edit the clips together I put a grid over the top of the join to crop and move the clips to line them up. Then delete the grid and put a very short cross dissolve transition (30 frames) between clips. I use Final Cut Pro for editing. The whole distance from St Bees beach to Whitehaven harbour is about 9 kilometres.
@@StevieProton That's dedication!
@@horrgakx Luckily all the take-off points were less than 15 minutes from my house, the weather was perfect and The Dragon was at work all day.
Fabulous footage of this beautiful place 👍 wonderful 👌
Fabulous footage and flying. Capturing the raw beauty of this incredible place. I was thinking of going over there last week. Great video 👌
@@ladyintheskyuk I was in the vicinity for a wedding so, I thought, why not.
What a beautiful place thank you for sharing it with us🎉 I'm flying on a mountain region 🎉
One of my favourite places as a kid back in the 70s ❤
I've followed this house for years, now. Thank god the preservation society is now in control. We were close to losing it!
Yeh. It looks like the society has a good plan for the future but it's gonna cost a lot of money.
A beautiful quarry,love to see it sometime,
A fair size of place... well captured
Great drone show nice choice of music
Wow!
That was really beautiful to watch. Thank you for sharing .
Fantastic video and really nice music. What an amazing old place, love these old houses and the history behind them.
@@davidharle952 It’s being restored over the next thirty years - £100 million to be spent.
Awesome quarry, really deep, reminds me of when I worked on the open cast in Northumberland so many years ago. Love the sculpture and viewing gallery, shame it's not like that in the quarries around here.
Another area I've not been to... ....yet! Great filming around the house, thanks for sharing :)
I was there for a wedding and the groom asked the estate staff if I could fly my drone and they said it was ok although they would prefer it if I didn’t fly over the house. Happy to do that.
That sculpture in the beginning and at the end is amazing!! Another great film
First Like, just great views from above and filming! Have a wonderful weekend 07:34 ♥
Thanks for this - poor weather prevented me getting a drone up on the day we went past in March
@@theboy-uk I’m sure you’ll be back. You get everywhere else.
@@StevieProton Hope so 👍. I'm very lucky that we do get the opportunity to see lots of our beautiful country :)
Superb flight and music. I really enjoyed the smooth orbits that take in the whole structures. 👍 Just subbed.
Excellent footage and a great video, Big thumbs up 👍👍I have subscribed
Thanks. I always try to find somewhere with a bit of history instead of all the usual Lake District stuff.
Wow, they must have chicks that they are protecting, I know the Shell ducks on the pond in front of me do exactly the same when they've had chicks, I think it's because the seagulls go for them and possibly think that's what the drones are. Not sure why but I'm not getting notifications through, just found this video by accident.
Keep inspired
Thanks. I’ve still got lots of places on my list. I just need some nice weather and time off from The Dragon who lives in my house.
Thanks to your video, I found this place today :). The rain was pretty persistent all day, so the drone stayed in the bag, and I settled for a brew and a cake instead!
Thanks mate. It's nice up there and quite quiet compared with Surprise View and Ashness Bridge just down the same road.
@@StevieProton I nipped up to Surprise View again after tea, just before the sun went down and filmed that end of the lake, then drove back to Keswick and got that end. Even at 8pm the viewpoint was busy, as were people trying to take photos of the bridge.
Top team. Couldn’t happened without these folks 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic flight. Beautifully captured and flown. Cool shot of the bird flying towards you. 👍
Those mad oystercatchers always get too close for comfort. I slowed the video down using optical flow with a bit of AI - it works a treat. See you made it to Whitehaven last week.
Loved it and always love the history you add. Even though the name change threw me, at my age easily done, I figured out by your style of flying and added information. Loved the bit with the bird.
I would have liked to see a schematic of the layout of the castle. It would have given me a better idea of its size. Nice drone flying. The pause on the bird flying towards the screen was fantastic.
Email me and I'll send you a drawing of the site. StevieProton@pm.me
Would like to see the dates on some of those stones.
Go and have a look for yourself. I had a quick glance on my way past at some of them but a lot of them are made from red sandstone and the inscriptions are pretty faded on most of the ones I looked at.
Nice touch on giving a shout out to the free exhibition next to the church!
Your name change caught me out. Great to see the whole video, even if you missed out the "landing" at the end.
I thought I’d sync it up with my FB name. I’ve just checked the original in slo-mo and you were correct. The oystercatchers were innocent. The “landing” was caused by wire problems. First (and last) time in 650 flights.
@@StevieProton Not managed to hit any wires yet, but hit my fair share of trees and bushes!
Wow, and that was the birds, you didn't catch the electric/phone cables I can see in that area? I've bothered a lot of birds, but never had one cause a drone to drop out of the sky Glad it survived!
I could see the cables before I took off but those oystercatchers sneaked up on my blindside like flying ninjas. Up til then it was all going perfectly.
@@StevieProton Little blighters!
Fabulous capture 👌 can't believe how it took your drone down. 😮Shocking. Hope there wasn't too much damage done. Hopefully, the little blitter had a few missing feathers 🪶
One of the props was missing and two others had the tips snapped off. I’m not sure whether they were damaged when the bird hit the drone or when the drone hit the ground. Luckily, the drone was only about four metres above a grassy field. It could have been worse. I checked it out and put new props on and it’s all good. No gimbal or camera damage. Oh I hate oystercatchers.
LOL, how spooky we were talking out the ex-owner! It's a lovely drive over the pass, and great walks around those hills - quite a sight when you're looking down on the Typhoon pilots who sometimes practice there. Fabulous video capturing the raw beauty of the area, both natural and manmade.
I’m going north next week for some different scenery.
@@StevieProton Look forward to seeing what you find :)
What a beauty! Slate mines are so interesting, you've captured this v well! Thank you for sharing
Many thanks!
Wow, crackin' video mate, I've seen lots of videos of that area but this is the best. It really shows the rugged beauty of the area. And with excellent music.
Thanks 👍 I’m going north next. 😊
