I want you all to think of my "Mission Impossible" attempt to photograph an unstable small tunnel.
It's of great historical importance and was built into a walled embankment somewhere about 1795-1805.
It may collapse within a few years and could be related to the World Heritage Site near Llangollen in North Wales, UK.
Neglect of the entire site has resulted in increasing cracking of the entire structure, including small falls of building stone stone from the structure.
The story of the tunnel is lost in time, but poses more questions than you have room for here, but would be happy to expand on elsewhere.
The elevated embankment carried a single track railway, and is of a size that varies from 8 to10 m (25 to 30ft) wide, and runs for 1.2km (1/2 mile).
The tunnel runs at an angle through this embankment and has been blocked off at one end by a stone wall that is now failing.
Rubbish has been dumped, to half-fill this 2m x 2m tunnel, leaving little flying room.
Come on, chaps. Persuade me against the stupid, but desperate plan to record this before it falls down, or some authority makes it safe with a bull dozer.
If there are alternative approaches for an mere amateur, such as myself, please don't hesitate to tell me what you think as I know most of you know more than this new user.
I am on my 9th flight, the last 4 of which have been practising with kids toy tunnel tent, and brick pillars in my back garden.
I am flying a Mavic Pro Platinum, using "Tripod Mode", but struggling.
I have a thick skin, so just say your piece and I will not be offended.
Thanks for all of the great information that you all provide on this forum.
