Wigg Island Meet-up to see Fiddlers Ferry Power Station Cooling Towers demolished 3rd December 2023

Leaving very shortly :slight_smile:

Main car park has a few but no one else at our spot :rofl:

I can see it getting fairly busy here. Perfect view…

Getting really busy here, watch out for ice roads on approach, it’s not been gritted :blush:

One or two flight reports in the area :smiley:

Im here just before the car park on the island

Bloody foggy

I’ve not experienced it, but be careful with potential ice formation on propellers if you are intending to fly for a while as it is very cold, it is due to the change in pressure over the propellers… and it you are flying from wigg island there is a lot of mud to try to recover a drone which will just drop vertically.

If it doesn’t clear up i won’t even bother getting the Nikon out. And that grey triangle above the land rover is the bridge

Mist has just started rolling in

Not from my experience but it is an issue when it’s cold with moisture in the air so be wary

I got some footage, not had a look at it yet, hopefully ok, but was so misty at the site.

The explosion was amazing though, the ground shook and very, very loud.
A siren went off a few minutes before, but it wasn’t very loud.
