Ennerdale Valley

A quick spin up and down Ennerdale on a perfect droning day. Nice and quiet - no tourists in sight.

Spectacular flight. Stunning 👍 ❤

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 🤙

[@StevieProton]

@@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

[@davidharle952]

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.
