Garstang Area by Drone and a Wet Blanket . . .

  • With lockdown in the UK now into it's 4th week - and considering that the possibilities for enjoyable outdoor activities are proving few and far between - join me as I take a quick tour by drone of the local area around Garstang in Lancashire, including the Lancaster Canal, as well as the picturesque and sizeable Garstang Marina.
    Fortunately I manage to capture a good impression of the area, before a social justice warrior arrives - and eliminating any enjoyment I'd gained from the experience. Ho hum . . .

    I'd have told the that bloke you are working for the government and checking on how many walks a day people are having so if this is your first and only walk you'll be ok........ then he turns around and heads straight back ha ha.

    'm so sorry that fellow came along because before that it was amazingly beautiful-the countryside, the marina, the town, a lovely April day in England. What a great escape, and how delightful to see details about how the drone works, too. I loved the use of the camera on the tripod, and how you clearly explained what you were doing. I also am amazed at how stable the drone camera is, I'd think it would be crazy shaky or at least wobbly. For a little while, enjoying the views, I forgot our strange times and stresses-but then that unpleasant comment. I wish that man could know there are hundreds of people out here cheering you on, enjoying and applauding your camera skills. I wish he knew how carefully you WERE providing for privacy, and how you had gotten permission to be there. The only silver lining is we did get the "full" drone experience which apparently includes a passerby with a critical word. ps I'm glad you took a week "off"!

    I was with a friend when he was flying a drone, when some person came up and complained about their privacy, now normally my friend shall we say is not the most polite person when someone pees him off, but this time he said to the gent come and have a look at what we see, he came over and within 10 minutes was flying the drone under my mates supervision. Super shots of Garstang an area I know well but never seen from above, and Booths is a great shop.

    Your Amazon and CZcams channels have helped keep my wife and I sane over the last many months. Thanks! I'm an experienced RC plane and drone builder (since 1970). Next time a person asks you if you're concerned about privacy, say "Of course I am. Please come over and see what I'm seeing." When they see there's no way you could be looking in windows they will realize there are no privacy issues in what you are doing. Then say "Since you are as concerned about privacy as I am, how do you feel that everything there is to know about us is on the internet, and Google Earth shows our back yards and street view?".

    He’s probably a criminal in the witness protection program . Don’t let it squash your joy. We out here in lockdown appreciate any and all sights of countryside. Carry on please 🥰

    Wow: We just stumbled across this film this morning. We have a boat in the marina and haven't been able to visit it recently (of course) so it was wonderful to see her again! Lovely views of the surrounding countryside and Garstang too. Thank you.

    Your sensitivity is one quality that endears you to your viewers…I’m sorry it also led to a early shutdown of very nice video. Luckily, you had already gotten in lots of great sights. Thanks for sharing these and so many learning experiences. Your travels feel intimate and personal because you so easily connect with people.
