Skippool Creek - and what once was...the MFV Good Hope...

- Skippool was once a bustling port on the River Wyre, close to the Fleetwood estuary, where ships unload their cargoes. Its popularity fell out of favour when Fleetwood’s port opened in the 1840s. A number of businesses were situated alongside the river to benefit from this trade, including Silcock’s Bone Mill and Tomlinson’s Animal Feeds Warehouse.
There was also a small shop that sold tea and sugar to the boatmen. During this time Skippool was a popular site for cock fighting, smuggling and press gangs, and the Ale Houses were infamous for their strong ale, contraband, spirits and drunken mariners.
The main feature in my video is (was) the MFV Good Hope, a once proud trawler which was first launched in 1948 from Wick. Decommissioned around 1984 before being bought, was brought to Skippool creek with a view to restore it. Sadly the trawler is now in an advanced state of decay with the wood rotted throughout and totally unsafe to board.

I really enjoyed that Paul great super smooth close flying 🙂 The opening scene flying backwards through those boats blew me away. Great editing and really well thought out 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Ian... I flew through them both forwards and backwards so I could use either (sometimes reversing a forward clip seems to play back less well) and in this instance the real backwards flight was much better.
Awesome and fantastic.. Super amazing and fabulous presentation.. Wonderful flying.. Just superb performance👍👍 🛩✨🌸
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Stunning video Paul. The flying, filming and editing are absolutely spot on. All day long a thumbs up from me

Thank you Yvonne 😊
Lovely video Paul. Creek looks lovely.
Thank you Jackie though I wouldn't fancy swimming in it.... 😍
Wow. Summer is over, time to bring the boats in. Great job.
Most have these are beyond their final winters... I wonder how many hundreds of years sailing combined all these vessels managed...
Wonderful video and great job and flight 👏👏👏🤙big like👍

Nice wreck and very smooth fly. Well done.
Thank you Johnny m8. 👍
Good shots.👍
Thank you m8 😊
Brill production matey. Don't have to go high to make a great flight. Well done. 👏
Appreciated Colin. I think a lot of the time being down low adds to the video more than the sky-high views.
@@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos Fully agree 👍 Although, I have to use my phone and gimbal at NT places as too far away with the drone.
Nicely done
Thank you Dave - Tony says it's in the show sometime - not sure when yet...
