Moments of Serenity, Gordale Scar Waterfall, Yorkshire Dales

A cold but sunny day at the start of March allowed us the opportunity to get out early and take a trip to the Yorkshire Dales, with all 3 drones in the car and a need to fly and brush off the winter no-fly blues!

Our first idea was to head to Ribblehead and then Bolton Castle, before coming back via Gordale Scar and Malham, but on leaving we decided to reverse the direction and head to Gordale first, and although it was busy, it was not too busy for a flight.

Met a MAVIC 2 drone flyer on the walk in, then flew the MINI3 Pro in close to the falls, the high overhanging cliffs made it difficult to get any satelite signal, so the flight was taken slowly and with great care. Then we retreated back along Gordale Beck and flew the AIR3 - staying further away from people as per CAA rules and my A2CofC licence permissions - and captured the more distant vistas...

Editing the footage was interesting, a piece of music by the Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson suggested itself to me, a majestic yet slow and deceptively simple piece, so bracing myself for the fact that most won't have the attention span to last 3 minutes let alone 6 minutes I decided to go with it and produce something serene, relaxing and very chilled out - I hope I have succeeded!
