Hengoed Viaduct from South Wales industrial past

[123taff]

This is one of my first outings with my new mini3 pro.

It is the old railway viaduct in Hengoed near Caerphilly South Wales and now forms part of a national cycleway. Completed in 1854, it closed to rail traffic in 1964 as a result of the infamous Beeching cuts.

It is a fantastic venue for experienced Drone pilots but is also ideal as a "training ground" for newer pilots.

You did well to get a dry day, I’m originally from Nelson, I know that place like the back of my hand, even though I left in ‘85.
