Pewsey Downs: a Flight throught History

It is 1°C / 38°F 🥶, it's raining 🌧, miserable weather - so I venture to Pewsey Downs, Wiltshire with my camera and drones. Located about 4 miles South of Avebury, as such, it is steeped in history. That paired with being the highest point in Wiltshire, it makes a great place to fly with spectacular views! 🤩
In this video walk to:
1. Knap Hill, Britains first Causewayed Enclosure dating back nearly 6 millenia
2. Adam's Grave, a Neolithic Chambered Long Barrow built 3,500 BC
3. Alton Barnes White Horse, at Milk Hill, carved in 1812

Thanks for sticking it out in the bad weather to bring us this fascinating video!

[@LamboPhoto]

Cheers Christian! It was a tough one, but nevertheless, a pleasure 👍

[@WanderingwithWatto]

Enjoyed seeing the views and the history in the area is awesome. Thanks for taking us along. 👍🏻👏🏻. Great job.

[@LamboPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it Watto and Kim! Thanks for the lovely comments, shame about the weather, but they'd be very little content if we only shot when the sun was shining in the UK 😂

@@LamboPhoto ain’t that the truth. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Excellent and informative, thank you for sharing

You are dedicated to the cause. The sites that you pick are always so interesting. I really like the way nature has sculpted the hills. Couldn't help notice the lovely clean cream interior of the motor! It will have taken a beating on the last few trips (sorry) :) Thank you!

[@LamboPhoto]

Thanks Clive! I loving the outdoors, whatever the weather 😉 And Britain has so much to offer, especially in the way of history. Funnily enough, I had the chance to get black leather seats, but I opted for cream. Starting to regret that now, especially after Barbury Castle! 😂 Thanks as always! Chris

[@ORGANIZEDCoNfUsioN]

That was very good. Like # 7!!!!

[@LamboPhoto]

Thanks a lot, it is appreciated 👍

Nice one. loved it. Such a beautiful area. You have done the location justice. Good info on area. Shame about the mud. no pain no gain. The mist made it so atmospheric . I realise the pro would be ok in that wind. Hope the Mini 2 was ok. Cheers see u again soon. The Mini does punch above its weight. I too have the Mini 2 Zoom 2 And the old Air 1 in white. 🥂🥂👏

[@LamboPhoto]

Thanks Mike & Sue 👍 Great feedback 🙏 I am starting to think I am a Mud Magnet 😖 The Mavic 2 Pro (same as your Zoom but without the zoom) is rock steady in the wind, and your right, the Mini 2 defies science the way it handles itself. I had it 100m above the summit of Pen y Fan on Saturday, above the clouds - with no issue (which is more than I can say for my knees after that walk!) 👍

[@AdrianOates]

Great bit of narration and filming, very interesting - Roll on the summer! lol

[@LamboPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, can't wait for some decent weather, it makes all the difference 👍

[@DroneViewsMedia]
