Wigan, scotmans flash, flight test 1

[@jetcat120]

Great video, It is a shame they are building that new road through it don't you think.

[@bobsanders6987]

First Class video, thanks for sharing. I paddle my kayak on Scotmans flash, have walked all around there etc., and watched various changes over the years. A lovely catch for future archives too. I hope the new road ads a positive with a scenic walk of another nature.

Yes it's a nice area. Hope it don't get ruined

[@altgene8372]

You think Wigan you expect Northern Industrial but this is so Lush, credit to you for showing the world this. By the way do they have any bike trails in the area?

[@peyfaz4287]

Hi mate, great flight! Small world too, I just got a Mavic Pro last week, and I live across the road from your takeoff point here (I'm the other side of Poolstock) :) Still getting to grips with mine so I've not dared fly out over the water just yet :) Looking forward to more videos of the local area! I'm tempted to head up Rivington when I'm a bit more confident of flying - the views from up there must be amazing!

[@peyfaz4287]

Rich . I lost my drone on the 3rd flight up Rivington in some trees. I'm gutted. but enjoy your flying there top quality

[@Cransridge2288]

No way!!! Bloody hell... What happened? Pilot error or battery run out? Will you get another?

[@peyfaz4287]

Rich it lost signal and just came down. I could see it on my phone in the trees but I still cant find it. I have hired a drone and hovered over where it went down but still cant find it. I have the flight logs etc and think it might have been pinched. trees where about 8ft on a busy route packed with walkers

[@Cransridge2288]

Bad news :( I thought these things were supposed to return to home upon signal lost... got me worried now!

[@peyfaz4287]

Rich just get out and fly it. there brilliant.

[@tommybrookes3066]

does anybody have any film or pictures of the spooky farmhouse roof that appears when the water is low

[@tommybrookes3066]

on 2 09 he,s right over the where the old farmhouse is under the water, when the water goes low the spooky roof appears.

[@peyfaz4287]

What's minutes the roof on ?

[@autistic.adventurer]

There is no farmhouse under the flash and never has been. Worsley Mesnes farm was located where the 1st 3 houses are on the left of Rushdene as you come from Poolstock Lane.
