Air 3 Sheriff's Brow Viaduct - 2 bridges over the River Ribble

[AlbionDrones]

A target of opportunity on our recent Dales / Lancs trip, Sherrif's Brow Viaduct over the in-spate River Ribble...

The third flying stop on our trip, and a good view over the valley of the 2 rail bridges over the River Ribble, although lots of trees and branches overhanging the river, and a long steep descent in to the river meant I had to take plenty of care - hence the slow speed of the flight...

A spot that has potential for something more, especially if a train was passing, but despite the cold I managed to capture sufficient footage for a slow chilled out video, which will appeal to some and not to others, but that is as it should be..

Thanks, it was a case of better safe than sorry...

Thank you, it was the second piece I tried, the original piece was too fast and loud... I had to make some edits to the music to fit it to the video, and remove some human voices, but it worked out ok..

Thanks... I did consider flying under the bridge, but thetrees were giving me the heebee jeebies, and my original subject was the rapids and the other bridge, so I turned around.. Too soon I agree, I should have sent the AVATA and flown under the bridge, but gves me a reason to return...

As usual, very well done. Really enjoyed it. Just me, but I would have liked you to fly under one of the bridges.

Thansk both... Yes, beautiful scenery, but bitterley cold... I should have done a flight under the bridge, but was looking to do a reveal instead... And tbh flying up I should also have gone higher for a bigger reveal, but it was so cold I was beginning to shake and my control was not as steady as it had been, so had to cut the video there...

I will take another trip there at some point though and fly under the bridges..
