Wow! Some amazing footage from the sky there Sandy. Some great information there too. I often learn something from your videos and when it's subject matter that fascinates me I go away a very happy man :-) Take care and look forward to seeing you soon. Matt

[@KennethKramm]

Stupendous aerial footage Sandy. The music really brought out the vastness of the forts size Thanks. PEACE :-)

[@OnTheSound]

I love these vids, Sandy. Your hiking and history stuff are really enjoyable.

[@windhamcabin]

wonderfully done Sandy. I love hearing England's history. Very good footage! Take care -Chris

[@DroneGirl1]

Very beautiful : ) I love flying as well :) Cheers and God Bless! :)

[@Nnuinn]

I have been to this place. I had a cup of tea with the sheep on the East side out of the wind. I had a map, but I did not 'see' the place till now. Thank you. Tony

[@pawlett1]

Beautifully done Sandy. Very atmospheric. When are you going to do one over the Uffington Horse? G

[@thomasweigel2328]

Beautifully done! Thank you, Tom ABØJ

[@nicholasfenlon7397]

Cracking epic video Sandy, thanks for posting. Its amazing how with a little imagination and some aerial footage, you can imagine what the place might have looked like in 500BC

[@h00t76]

Great video! Thanks for sharing this!

[@DeepSouthExperience]

Absolutely gorgeous country.

[@WiltshireMan]

+Deep South Experience Got quite a few of these hillforts nearby Stan. They date from the Neolithic age. to early iron age

[@CorvusNumber6]

Brilliant Scenery!

[@007vauxhall]

Enjoyed that Doctor...some amazing views from up there, and some interesting history.. :-)

[@markmartin8431]

fantastic! thank you for taking us with you it's much appreciated. Give Jess a scratch for me atb safe travels. Mark in Texas

[@johnwmacdonald994]

You have some truly marvelous prehistoric archaeological sites in the UK. You've recorded quite a number for us now, and I'm always impressed. Wonderful video - something else that's marvelous is how you get such quality in your films. Cheers, John

[@alanroberts4060]

Great choice of soundtrack, .

[@NorwegianWoods]

What a fascinating video. Thank you for charing! I made a video from a hill fort in my area a little while ago. That place is so different. - Martin

[@SeanSquatchPNW]

Awesome video Sandy, great footage and what looked to be one hell of a outing. Atb sean.

[@kcvids816]

Those were some awesome views! Great video

[@Andyb2379]

Great aerial shots Sandy. Hope that your recovering well from your recent tooth troubles

[@daleskidmore1685]

Captured the place perfectly. Nice choice of music too. atb

[@virginiacopeland108]

Thanks for the tour!

Great footage Sandy! Good advice with pre-lauch checks, Iv'e lost a GoPro camera a few years back! I was up here in August filming the Crop Circle. :-)

[@neanderthaloutdoors9202]

Love your aerial filming Sandy, were lucky to have all this history here in Wiltshire, you could make a good aerial video of Stonehenge mate, now the road has gone you can get right up close to the stones via the Avenue or the Curses, loads of burial mounds, Woodhenge, Durrington Walls, I could show round, keep up the good work, atb, Paul.

[@JohnSmith-pd1fz]

Great bit of flying there mate! The Ridgeway always has stunning scenery, whatever time of the year & I have walked and biked it several times. once as far as the MI motorway. Good to see how big these hillforts are and the way they are connected together, rather like the Roman staging posts which came later. I wonder if they served a similar purpose.

[@TheMendipman]

Superb video Sandy. What more can I say? Love to all, Noel

[@stargawper]

Thank you Sandy for that video, gives a real idea of the defences of a hill fort. Liddington next perhaps?

[@GopanBushcraft]

cool video and the history lesson was a fun bonus! and again soo cool lanscape. thinking of Knights and robin hood and so on :) now i'm of for the Woods for some slingbow shooting. se you my friend

[@windy1965]

Looks like you & your son had a lovely day out Sandy & the weather was a lot kinder to you than Dartmoor ! Take care & all the best, Neil.

[@joesneon]

Very cool Sandy!!!!!

[@naturecallsoutdoors]

Love learning history through your eyes, and of course the eye of the quad. I try and imagine all that went on in those lands back in time. How many horses traveled between the forts, and people working the land, and I assume battles fought. Was the land always so treeless? Take care Bruce PS. I have lost one drone and camera to date. Nice reminder to check systems. I didn't check that a major front was coming in and took my drone out to sea. Fought the good fight for 20 minutes just couldn't make it back. I got the same model as I had invested in compatible controller. I am more cautious in the wind now.

[@rpf1965]

Great video!

[@kenny9823]

great footage sandy ,, all the best kenny

[@Dustypilgrim1]

You know Sandy , a flyover of the Uffington White Horse would make a damn good intro for your knifemaking channel . Your aerial photography runs are getting quite epic ... if we could sort out a straffing , launch and release systems , the 'epic epicness' would be beyond measure ... :) atb...

[@brendanallan1553]

Great video again sandy :)

[@mozarkoutdooradventures3630]

Sweet!

[@allanthompson9695]

Interesting about the trig points. Looking forward to combining the Amateur radio SOTA and hiking / bushcraft.

[@FISHLIPS62]

Good stuff. Wished I could fly one. Only I have the dexterity of a drunk pig on a skateboard. Keep up the great work.

[@nilodrallub7812]

Thank You Sandy !

[@outaboutwilts]

Lovely video Sandy, Have you been to the west Kennet long Barrow? A really magical place, not dissimilar to Wayland's Smithy. It would make a great quad copter video as you would be able to get Silbury hill in it! atb Roger (outaboutwilts)

[@Ddabig40mac]

Those berms are some serious defensive advantage. Also, how to occupy an army between battles.

[@TonyHobbs]

Inspiring :)

[@WiltshireMan]

+Tony Hobbs Thanks Tony. There are quite a few of these hill forts where I live. Thanks for watching. Sandy

[@Predo1064]

Strange, who could dislike this, thanks Wiltshire Man

[@Predo1064]

Maybe a couple of vertigo sufferers

[@WiltshireMan]

YES LOL

[@TomSykesMedia]

Great video mate

[@WiltshireMan]

+Tom Sykes Hi Tom, The best footage is when the sun is behind or to the side of the camera and also when the copter is taken upwind and then allowed to drift back with the air mass. No vibrations at all then.

[@TomSykesMedia]

I agree mate.

[@LAPGOCHINSTRUCTOR]

With the beautiful landscape and music - it's almost like a short video out of the massive film "Out of Africa" With your drone do you have a video screen on your drone controller to view the drone camera ? ATB Richard

[@WiltshireMan]

+ExRE_Sapper Hi Richard. No I don't have any way to see what the camera see's so I have to guess, take lots of video and edit to get the best. I hope one day I will be able to upgrade to a better setup. Thanks for watching Sandy

[@scottfisher661]

Nice shots sandy atb ScottScott

[@jamessd7677]

Still waiting for your Avebury drone film Sandy, (well I am anyway, ha, ha). Last time I mentioned the subject to you you said you feared they might stop you from filming with your drone there, (which is a shame because you'd make a good worthwhile interesting stimulating vid). I live in hope. thanks a lot mate.

[@WiltshireMan]

+James Stewart Dunn I would love to fly over Avebury. Maybe one day when I get FPV cos then I could hide away and no one would know who was piloting the drone. I wouldn't get caught then haa

[@alanprince1702]

Excellent camera work i could do with meeting up and getting some tips on using my SJ 4000 Alan M1TAP

[@fatdude8716]

Sandy, can you do SOTA from any of those locations? Also, don't the drones have GPS to return home, if they get out of range? N4API.

[@WiltshireMan]

+Fat Dude No and Yes. No because the hillfort is not a classified SOTA summit. Not high enough. And yes the drone will return home if I lose sight of it. Just have to turn the remote controller off!

[@alanhanley9515]

Its mind boggling to think of the effort required to dig/construct those embankments, especially with basic tools.

[@richardnevell]

By any chance would you be prepared to put this under a Creative Commons licence? It would be great to be able to use this on Wikipedia.

[@WiltshireMan]

Yes I would be quite happy for Wikipedia to use this video. You have my permission to use this video. I have other videos of other Iron age hillforts which I am also happy to share: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6mzgqiAr7atbNU

[@CorvusNumber6]

Sandy, did you ever think of trying FPV?

[@Clempt90]

Wiltshire man rules.

[@johnpatterson4558]

Hi SandyHave been here a few years ago and read that these places are connected by lay lines. Is this myth or based on fact.

[@johnlord8337]

10* More quadcopter drones should be used in archaeology, paleo-archaeology, ... other ancient site fly overs for tourism and academic studies ...

[@fatdude8716]

Sandy, I hope you find my email per "de N4API" and it does not get lost in your spam. 73, Brian

[@Islaharts]

I have bean there
