I have just added this to the map of places to fly your drone at Drone Scene:
The second day of our NC500 trip, after spending the first night in Fort William, an extra to our planned trip, a drive into Glen Nevis and a walk up to Steall Falls, the UK's 2nd largest waterfall.
The day was much improved over the torrential rain of the previous day, and with a long drive ahead and plenty of places planned to stop, we set off early - after a great breakfast at the Cruachan Hotel - to see the falls.
Arriving early, we had the place almost to ourselves. The drive along a twisty single-track road is not for the faint of heart, but upon arrival at the small car park, we saw only one other vehicle. The walk to the Falls is not an easy one, lots of steps, waterfalls and streams to cross and some treacherous terrain. Walking poles came in handy, good boots are essential, and a good level of balance and mobility would be recommended.
However, the reward of reaching the almost alpine valley and seeing the Falls is definitely worthwhile. I wish we had allowed ourselves more time to walk and explore - it would have been great to fly the valley up to the falls with the AVATA2, skimming over the rocks to reveal the distant falls, but time was not with us, so we decided not to fly the AVATA this time - rest assured, we will return!
Lots of areas to fly from in the valley atop the walk, however the falls can also be seen after about a 10 minute walk form the car park - in the distance at a range of about a mile or so.
