Welcome to my channel, where I post my Radio Control related footage, mostly from drones and RC cars.
I tend to post raw and just lightly edited footage with little commentary, preferring the relaxing nature of soaring above.

Nice video mate. I wouldn't fancy owning one of those shacks - they all look like the cliff is gonna squish 'em at any moment. Now, that would make a good drone video.
LOL, I think there have been a few cliff collapses along the Jurassic Coastline in the last few years!
Fantastic footage 👍 Beautiful flight 👌
Thankyou ladyintheskyuk :)
The cliffs look amazing. Excellent area to fly around. What kind of red houses are there on the beach?
You know me, love flying near water, LOL. I think they are wooden holiday caravans or chalets.
@@theboy-uk We both like a lot of water.
@@robodrone5662 Shame I live so far from decent rivers, lakes and sea.
@@theboy-uk Then you have to travel a lot.
@@robodrone5662 I do!
Really nice part of the south coast. ☘☘☘
I love all coastlines, but the contrasting red and white cliffs are dramatic in this area 👍
Great capture 👍
It was lucky to capture it - as soon as I saw it and heard the thunder, I quickly turned it around and landed!
@@theboy-uk You did well.
@@robodrone5662 Sometimes ypu have to have a bit of luck as well :)
@@theboy-uk You are right!
Bollox - I was gonna go up there last month but I went to Coldstones Cut instead. I think that was a lot more interesting. I sat and followed the whole flight with my OS maps checking out everything. Brilliant.
LOL, that merman's you have to go back across the M6 for a revisit. This was done in March, so I suspect the landscape looks much greener now... ...so if you do get back over that way, I'd love to see the video 👍
@@theboy-uk The Dragon’s mate has moved to live in Ripon, so some future trips will be in order.
@@StevieProton Look forward to seeing them at some point 👍
Good job! 😊👍
Thank you 👍 - Gad you enjoyed the trip around these reservoirs!
Fascinating journey in the sky. Smooth stable flight. Ideal area for flying.
Thanks, the whole area (Yorkshire Dales) is fabulous for our hobby - even on a really windy day like these clips were shot on!
@@theboy-uk If I were you I would spend there plenty of time.
@@robodrone5662 Shame its about 4-5 hours drive from me.
@@theboy-uk Quite far 😵💫
Great flight, very enjoyable. ☘☘☘
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the trip around these two reservoirs 👍
Good stuff, getting very close again.
It certainly was a tight path up avoiding the rocks and branches.
Great music and clip, but very short. ☘
At the time of the flight, the intention was to capture a series of waterfall and stream short videos, and create a video of them all. But didn't manage to get any more videos of other waterfalls, due to bad weather and running out of time in the few days I was in the area.
Lovely pictures of nature.
Thanks, was actually quite a surprisingly challenging flight due to all the branches and rocks :)
@@theboy-uk I would say very risky.
@@robodrone5662 Challenging, but me and my spotter were making sure it all went OK 👍
@@theboy-uk It is good to be sure 👍
@@robodrone5662 Thanks! :)
Beautiful wild Ennerdale 😍 Stunning flight. 👍👌
We only discovered Ennerdale on our previous visit in 2012. Its a stunning place, and away from the busy parts of the National Park. It certainly was wild on one of the days I filmed for this video, as you can probably tell from the white streaks on the water!
Lovely flight capturing this wonderful property. Great video 👌 ❤
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the trip around Claydon House :)
Fabulous capture 👌 ❤Beautiful 👌
Thanks :). I knew you'd appreciate a bit of Budle Bay!
Fantastic flight, the views are gorgeous. Fine music. Wasn't the wind too strong? And a lot of water.
Thanks :). It was filmed on multiple days with both the Mavic 3 and the Mini 4 Pro. The Mavic 3 is unbelievable in strong winds!
@@theboy-uk A brick in the air 💪
Awesome, loved the opening shots. While not quite as close as StevieProton it takes me about 40 mins or so to get there. Really busy place, I noticed a man with his dog lol.
40 minutes is still far better than the 4-5hrs it would take me from home (on a good day). I'm not jealous. Much 🤣
My favourite lake. Fifteen minutes from my house, no cars, no tourists - perfect. The best bit of the valley is past the end of the lake at Char Dub. There was a plan (now on hold) to re-introduce beavers in the valley into the River Liza. I was looking forward to it. Maybe one day.
To have that on your doorstep is very lucky. We only discovered it on our previous visit, and love it as it's not overrun with tourists. I quite fancy a walk up the valley, at least as far as the 2nd youth hostel - maybe even do an overnight in it!
@@theboy-uk I’ve got a trip planned as soon as the weather picks up.
@@StevieProton Superb - let me know how it goes 👍
Ipswich sure does look good from up there...[ new sub ]
The Waterfront is the best part of Ipswich!
cracking video, Thanks for showing us, shows a lot of my old haunts, That DJI drone must have a great range on it, Is it a DJI 4 ?
Glad you enjoyed seeing your old haunts! 😃
Smooth flight around amazing building.
Thanks - I do struggle with that amount of zoom to keep the subject central!
Wonderful view from a postcard 👍
It was a lovelyMarch day. The weather was kind that week!
That’s a nice house. A lot neater than the giant house I was at last weekend.
I like all these old houses. But for proper posh, just a few miles from this one is one of the Rothschild's houses, Waddesdon Manor. I'll see if I have enough footage of that one to make a video - though again I suspect it would have been using the telephoto lens on my original Mavic 3, which isn't the best for quality, sadly, as can be seen from this video.
@@theboy-uk I’ve always kept away from flying around people’s homes but, sometimes I’m tempted if the place is unoccupied.
@@StevieProton Indeed, privacy plus just purely causing concern is enough to keep me a long way back as a rule.
Such a popular, upstanding family tthat a railway junction was named after them. Or, more likely, they had a big hand in building the railway and, therefore, were entitled to put their name to Verney Junction.
Given that Verney Junction is probably around 1 mile as the crow flies, they probably owned the land!
@@theboy-uk Yeah, back in the day when rich people had a plan and invited investors to take a punt on that plan. The whole 19th century railway network was built that way. OK, some branches never turned much of a profit but people had a rail service in far-flung places and could board a train from Nowheresville in Scotland or Wales towards whichever Big Smog took their fancy. Fast forward 170 years and we have HS2, a tax-payer funded, government-run abortion of a project. No risk involved, a bottomless pit of money to splurge, no deadlines to meet, no investors nagging about delays or costs. The Verney family will be laughing in their graves. Old Oak Common to Curzon Street is not quite what the government promised us. All the sensible stuff was ditched early on: the direct connection to HS1; the spur to Heathrow etc ... I'm miffed not because so much money has been wasted and environmental damage done. It's the fact that, on paper, there was a worthwhile vision for the future of our railway network but the government was/is, hopelessly, not up to the job of realising that vision. The Verneys had to deliver on their vision otherwise the money would dry up.
Really nice, love these old places, such a grand old place. I see they even had their own church as well. Not bad eh?
Not many people can say they have a church in their garden, 50 yards from the house!
@@theboy-uk My family had a church named after them in Northumberland and a village sprung up from it. Kirkharle and East Harle, where my family originated from. Sadly no inheritance for me though.
@@davidharle952 Impressive 👍
Right lads there's a drone in the air, let's all give him a fly by that'll scare him.
Since the bird strike I got a few weeks ago on Wast Water, I've been a bit paranoid about birds getting angry. How that drone survived, and not fall into the lake, given the damage to the prop is a near miracle!
Beautiful scene and the birds really add to it
It was part of a longer flight capturing the sun, and ended before it set due to all these birds!
Alfred would be like, "I told you !!"
🤣 🤣
Great flight, nice wee church. ☘☘☘
Thanks, its quite an interesting area, with the reservoir just down the road :)
Brilliant video 👌 fantastic footage 👌
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
Fascinating scenery from a sf movie. Incredible place for flying 👍
It sure is a fascinating place :)
Amazing video and such a fascinating place. Love the small craters and weird shapes in the sand. What is the black Windmill type tower near the end? It seems to be in use.
It's called Ordfordness Beacon, and was built 100yrs or so ago as an early navigation radio beacon. As far as I know, its no longer in use for this purpose (and there is some suggestion it was only an experiment anyway). It appears to be a listed building, which might explain its good condition, but I'm really struggling to find any conclusive info on it's modern uses.
Hello , I think of Orfordness a place to go bird watching having sailed up here recently ,nice pics
In the several hours I was there, I saw seagulls, seagulls, seagulls, and some seagulls! LOL. I was a little disappointed not to see more to be honest, but that didn't dampen the visit to the place :)
Excellent footage. 👌 What a place to fly. Nicely captured 👌
Thanks, djengines and I spent several hours at this location with 3 drones gathering lots of footage :)
Great shots of the city and boats on the water. Fantastic flight 👍
You know me, always like a bit of water. Even if the seagulls were quite aggressive! Thanks.
@@theboy-uk They looked polite, just flying closer 😉
@@robodrone5662 Yes, maybe,, as no contact this time!
Fantastic video, as with so many places where boats are berthed, so many new properties built around the marinas. It certainly wasn't like that the last time I was there, when I drove long distance back in the early 70's, although there was still traffic jams.
And plenty of seagulls trying to dive bomb the poor little Mini 3 Pro! This area has seen significant regeneration over the last 15 years or so :). The rest of Ipswich hasn't changed, aside from shops are now kebab shops.
that's a sizable back garden Jamie 🤣
I wish I had a back garden like that!!!
Shame about the music. Natural sounds of the island would’ve been better.
Hoped you liked the video, even if the music didn't work for you. Music is always hard to pick, and for this I was after something bright and uplifting, so grabbed this from RUclips's (rather limited) Audio library.
No water this time nevertheless shots are impressive.
Thanks. There was a big reservoir about half a mile behind me. Obviously I flew around that as well!
Love old churches, it amazes me why they built some that were so remote, I know about flooding but it must have been a long journey in a horse and carriage, or on foot.
This one was moved from the village when the reservoir was built and flooded the village. Its more of a funerary than a church though.
I'm di💤y..
I can't watch Avata footage, including my own. I can't always fly the thing without getting motion sickness!
Short and sweet. I like churches. I find them interesting from a social, historical and architectural point of view. Of course I've never been inside one, being a total atheist.
Same here, I love the architecture of them :)
I also like old churches, they have loads of history. ☘☘☘
@@IrishMac093 I love the history, and the architecture of churches 👍
The music is very fitting for this debarcle
Absolutely, just don't let the brainwashed fans hear you say that though!
Great fun, perfect music as well. I saw one of these where someone had an overlay of a fighter cockpit, so it looked like there were seeing it from the view of a pilot.
What a wicked idea! Although I wasn't planning on posting many Avata videos here... ...but I am getting a lot of requests for these silly ones 🤣
Fast & Furious
& Fun. It really is great fun to mess about with :)
@@theboy-uk Too fast for me 🤣
@@robodrone5662 Its quite a slow drone, probably slower than your Air 3....
@@theboy-uk But I fly high 😉
@@robodrone5662 Always good to be at least 1 mishap high 👍
Awful music and no commentary!
I purposely don't comment on the video, as the intention is for a record of construction. Commentary would naturally contain my own views on the project. Music is very appropriate for this white elephant ;)
Are those both White Elephants and Flying Pigs I can see? Or just the countryside being desecrated by fools?
This is ironic. Much of the 'desecration' has come about because of the need to address environmental concerns by means of tree planting and new grassland and wetland plus extensive earthworks to hide HS2 from all those people traumatised by the sight of trains. However, the result of that is what you see in Boy's video - a wide strip of excavated land. (You can see where planting is becoming established - particularly on cutting slopes but it will be a few years before the scars heal. For the future appearance of HS2, have a look at HS1 through Kent, which would have been much the same in the late 90s). The railway itself will be a maximum of 23m between fences. That is wide for a railway (necessitated by greater high speed clearances and maintenance access requirements) but it is still 10m less than a standard dual three lane motorway. Outside of the railway, the main intrusive works will be transformer stations, depots and stations but these will be very widely spaced (there are no HS2 stations between the London suburbs and the outskirts of Birmingham). Motorways have frequent land hungry junctions and sprawling service stations every few miles. Phase 1 of HS2, whilst not a white elephant, will not fulfil its potential unless Phase 2 is added. The full 345 mile network will connect the capital to eight of Britain's largest cities and free up capacity on the existing passenger and freight network.
