Hownsgill to Knitsley Co Durham by drone. August 2020

A very pleasant flight across open countryside from Hownsgill viaduct area to the pub at Knitsley mill and the fishing ponds there. Ending near the industrial park at Templetown Consett.

I'm not sure it actually looks exactly like the real thing, I'm colourblind so I have to use Look Up Tables (LUTs), I use one which I think over saturates the colours but I like it. I've wanted to do some winter flights, the problem is that as soon as there's any decent snow, the roads are blocked, and I only have the little Seat Ibiza.

Hi Dave, thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I haven't flown over that area but I had a look on Google Earth, there's a stone circle there too, and a church so yes, that would be worth a visit. My drone is away in Holland at the moment with a faulty SD card slot, it should be back in a couple of weeks though, hopefully.

Where did you launch from, John? Looks like somewhere above the quarry caves? Lovely footage!

[@assessorjohn]

For my start point type 54.8382595 -1.839346 into Google Earth search, but there were a couple of points along that lane so the videos are stitched together to look like one flight.

John Twist thanks will take a look. I’ve shot a lot of stills there over the years but have been meaning to take the drone down. Always feels quite eerie there to me!
