Llyn Dinas, Eryri - Added to Lakes and Reservoirs in Wales

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

Land owner permission not required.

Llyn Dinas, near Beddgelert in Eryri is named after the nearby hill Dinas Emery’s, said to be the original home of the Welsh red dragon. In the story by Nennius (b. 769 AD), King Vortigern tried to build a castle at Dinas Emrys, but the walls kept mysteriously falling down overnight.

The boy wizard Merlin eventually discovered why: two dragons, one red and one white, were fighting in a pool beneath the castle (the red dragon won and became the symbol of the fight against the Saxon foe).

The legend grew, and Merlin became King Arthur’s wise counsellor and court sorcerer.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 02/09/2024. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.
