A short documentary style flight of The Anderton Boat Lift in Northwich Cheshire

The on site staff were brilliant and as we were the first there there was no issue with a drone flight.

A great piece of Victorian engineering, it must have been wonderful to see it in action in the late 1890’s

I would have to correct the typos first :rofl: no one at home spotted them. Davinci doesnt have a spell checker in it either. Pleased you liked it though.

Neither did I. :rofl:

Mark, that is a great video that really does justice to the Boat Lift. I do a Sunday walk from there nearly every week but have never had the courage to try a flight.
As an aside, the restaurant at Anderton Boat Lift does a brilliant bacon roll. Well worth a visit.

We had breakfast in there. Cracking value.

Correct. They were happy to accommodate but we were the first through the door. When I had finished I was showing my drone as they asked out of interest.

Nice video. Good work.

I flew there a few months back. Lots of people were really interested in the drone and stopped to chat.

What if they’d have said no ?

Not that they could really with any authority

@group-northwest are you thinking what I’m thinking? :smiley:

Sounds good to me…

@Qwackers - Mark, do you want to arrange a meet up at the Boat Lift or pass us the details of your contact and we can try and arrange something?

Could perhaps use it as a first stop on a NW Daytrip?
