Rivington Pike and the Other Drone Flyer!

[Paul]

One of two flights on the 22nd of May saw me blast the Mini 3 Pro into Sports Mode and fly up to around Rivington Pike. 

Rivington Pike is a hill on Winter Hill, part of the West Pennine Moors at Rivington, Chorley in Lancashire, England at an elevation of 363 metres. The wind up there was considerable. 

Written records of ‘Roun Pike’ stretch back to 1280, though it is entirely feasible the Pike became part of England’s integral beacon defence network over a century earlier under the instigation of the Earl of Chester after the Scottish raids of 1138.

I'm glad you remember the place so fondly Dee - it's still popular especially on Good Friday.

Great Video Paul, I first came up here in the late 1970's and the Italian Gardens were a lot different than they are now.

Thanks Geoff. 

I was a bit surprised at the lack of water in the Italian garden.
