Faraidh Head and Sea Stacks - Added to Coastal Scenery in Scotland

Where to fly your drone in the UK
1

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

A short flight on an exceptionally windy and grey day, within the Cape Wrath Range - permission obtained by phone from the range before we made the walk in and flew.

Faraidh Head is a good mile walk from the Balkaniel Beach car park, along the beach and then up through the dunes. The Sea Staks are offshore, and if the wind is not too rough can be flown, however on this day - 25 to 35mph winds and limited to flying my MINI3 Pro due to an accident earlier in the week damaging my AIR3 - I decided that capturing it from afar was the safer option.

The originator declared that this location was inside a flight restriction zone at the time of being flown. Permission to fly was obtained from Cape Wrath Range Control. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location. Landowner permission may be required before taking off.

Thank you for watching, yes, an interesting spot, if we had more time then we would have headed to the 100m cliffs and flown there too, but we had friends to meet…
