Nice views plus the transmitters

I can see Winter Hill from my house :slight_smile:

Was it windy up there Phil??

I’ve been up there a good few times over the years, not been up that way with a drone yet though, I should add it to my list!

It was a lovely evening, hardly any wind. Beautiful area, Turton, Belmont and Rivington all within easy distance.

I want to fly here, does anyone have any tips or advice they can share?

I’ve thought about flying there, does the tv mast interfere with your signal? I was across the valley, Sunnyhurst woods yesterday evening but weather crap, at a wedding & thought I might be able to grab a quick flight at Turton twr, alas no.

No, it’s fine.

That’s ok, Winter Hill is still there :grin:

Considering the amount of time I’ve spent there over the years , whilst working in Bolton, I’ve not seen or heard of that, funny when you think you know a place and really you don’t.:cat_with_wry_smile:

Spent many a day up there working on various transmitters when they go bang
