As part of our trip up north to Northumberland and Cumbria we visited the Epiacum Roman Fort in Alston. The place is massive and was given permission to fly it as you don’t get to appreciate the size of the place on the ground. So with my trusty Mavic Air 2 in a a bit of a wind it flew effortlessly and I was able to use a load of the functionality to get various shots. The Ramparts stand out really well from the air so it is highly recommended if you visit that part of the world. The landowner owns the Noom Tea Room at the bottom of the hill.

I have got a great orbital shot but it is to big to upload and the forum does not seem to like links from OneDrive
