Title: Ribblehead Viaduct - FPV Meet TOMORROW - CHANGED - NOW IN THE PEAK DISTRICT!!!!!
Post by: Teamftp on August 16, 2013, 02:13:11 PM
Next week I fancy a trip up to the Ribblehead viaduct:

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=ribblehead+&hl=en&ll=54.207675,-2.364829&spn=0.009249,0.028431&sll=53.988395,-1.691895&sspn=0.595069,1.819611&t=h&hnear=Ribblehead&z=16

Was wondering if anyone would like to join me for a spot of FPV for the day. Thinking Thursday or possibly Friday. Just thinking Friday maybe busy though with it being a bank holiday?!!?

Some STUNNING locations there for some FPV and you might even catch a steam train!!!

8 seats in my bus so can split fuel costs if we get a few from round here. Lots of room for gear too.

Would love to join you for that but far to far away for me. I'm a bit of a railway nut too and Ribblehead is a fantastic piece of railway architecture. Can get a bit of a blow on up there though, think the wind gets funnelled up the valley.
Get some great footage for me to see, just don't crash into a train teamfpv.
Enjoy guys, Mark

Well just had a look at the forecast, 6mph winds!!! OH YEH GET IN!!!!

Should be a fantastic day for some FPV action up there.

I will be setting off at about 7:30 / 8:00am I should think, unless anyone else needs me to hang around. Let me know if you need a lift. I have an 8 seater van so can squeeze some in to save on fuel. I am in Armthorpe, Doncaster if you have not been before.

This should be an epic days FPV so do not miss out!!!!

Simon.

Well folks the weather looks ok'ish for tomorrow up at Ribblehead. Chance of some rain but 6mph winds, gotta be worth a 2 hour drive.

If you want a loft with me I can either pick you up on the way or if you can meet at mine for 7:30??? We can then set off and have a good day of it.

Let me know if you're coming and then I have a good I sea what I am fitting in the Mazda Bongo.

Cheers and lets hope for a steam train to chase!!

I think I'm going to make the most of this: http://xcweather.co.uk/forecast/dn19_7ps (http://xcweather.co.uk/forecast/dn19_7ps)

2mph winds = calm weather for the TBS Disco and I'd like to get some nice footage of things in the local area that I've been wanting to do for weeks.

Enjoy guys.

I am not sure you can actually miss it. With the chances of showers at Ribblehead I do not fancy a 2.5 hour drive to find it is rained off.

Will text Rich and see what he thinks about coming over t'umber way on. There is plenty to fly round there.

Slight change of plan.

As there is the chance of rain tomorrow we have decided not to drive 2 hours to get rained off. Instead we are off into the Peaks to have a play at Stanage Edge and the surrounding areas.

Anyone who is around is more than welcome to come and join the fun!!

It is here, there is a BIG car park on the road just South of it:

https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Stanage+Edge,+Outseats,+Derbyshire+Dales+District&hl=en&sll=52.8382,-2.327815&sspn=9.788406,29.11377&oq=stanage&t=h&hnear=Stanage+Edge&z=15


Nearest Postcode is S32 1BR which is just a little further South.

See you there.

Si.
