Sheriff Brow Viaduct, River Ribble - Added to Bridges in Yorkshire and the Humber

I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:

Land owner permission not required.

Good views of the River Ribble and 2 rail viaduct / bridges over the river in spate…

Park at the layby and fly from there, good VLOS over the valley and river however lots of trees, so be careful to avoid the branches - hence why my footage was so slow…

Once descended to the river you can fly relatively safely along the centre in both directions for views of the 2 bridges, I didnt hang around as it was freezing cold and it was my 3rd flight of the day, but given another opportunity it would be simple to underfly both bridges and to capture more of them at that spot - especially if a train was coming - check the timetables!

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 03/03/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
