Pen-Y-Ghent and Fountains Fell - Added to Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty 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.

A target of opportunity for the drone spotted during our early March Yorkshire Dales trip, the snow capped fells called for us to fly as we drove along the road between them. Strobes fitted and 2 locations selected to minimise flight distance and maintain VLOS with the drone…

A cold breeze and only 4C at take-off height chilled my fingers to the bone on the 2 short flights, but it was worth it to capture the wintery landscape atop the fells - both near and those farther away in the distance…

Park on the side of the road and fly nap of the land, climbing as you approad the fell tops to maintain your 400ft vertical terrain max…

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.
