I can see Winter Hill from my house 
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.
Ah! Just noticed this was a post from 7 yrs ago.
No, it’s fine.
That’s ok, Winter Hill is still there ![]()
Dont forget there’s the pike and pigeon tower aswell.
Pigeon twr? Is that what’s marked “memorial’ on OS maps
This one Phil ![]()
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.![]()
Zoom out a couple of notches, there’s some great places to explore on that mountain ![]()
Spent many a day up there working on various transmitters when they go bang
