Thelwall Viaduct - Added to Bridges in North West

Dorje · June 29, 2022, 9:10pm

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

Land owner permission requirements unknown.

Thelwall Viaduct is a major bridge of the M6 across the Manchester Ship Canal adjacent to two discontiguous segments of a SSSI (Woolston Eyes).

Access is via a footpath from Thelwall.

The originator declared that this location was not inside a Flight Restriction Zone at the time of being flown on 29/06/2022. It remains the responsibility of any pilot to check for any changes before flying at the same location.

Did you not fly under it

Nice …

You are probably very close to where my BIL lives as he’s the vicar in Thelwall.

Put in a good word for me when I want to shoot the church.

They had a competition a few years back for a photo of the church, and as we were staying I put my drone up - as I had permission I wasn’t worried about nosey neighbours or the like, but would have been better if I had crossed the road (so to speak) with the drone.
