    Quick question - where would you like to see me walk or camp in a winter video?

      Tower Ridge would be cool.

    One of my favourite peaks in the black mountains. You showed it off well with the aerial footage.
    I spent a very cold night up there with Warren last year. Such a beautiful place to wake up!

      @@CampLifeBushcraft Your video (and Warren's version) was inspiration for this trip- that looked like a sublime cloud inversion on your timelapse. Thanks so much for watching!

    Sugar Loaf is such a lovely summit and with your drone you showed off the overall shape too. Timing was perfect as it seemed to rain a lot on your way down. Another good trek out there in the Brecon Beacon area Hedley - and yes indeed - we have a camping trip planned!
    Cheers, Warren

    Absolutely stunning drone artistry Hedley!. Now I live in Tasmania we have a Sugarloaf mountain within our view. ..My favourite place to go in winter UK when life wasn't going as planned and I needed space to think was Killhope Cross on the county Durham - Cumbria border. Spectacular in winter, but I'm unsure if or where you could camp.

    • @hedleythorne
      @hedleythorne  2 місяці тому

      Ah so you're near the sugarloaf rock, how nice! Killhope Cross sounds good - maybe a bit of a journey but a two nighter may be an idea. Will look into that appreciated. Thanks so much for watching.

    Hi Hedley, Looks like it was going to be very slippery on the way down, no mishaps I hope!!
    You had a perfect window of opportunity on top to fly the drone and the clouds did make a magnificent backdrop. I can imagine the drone has limited water resistance, if you got caught out do you think you would loose control of it?
    The ancient woodland was superb.
    Great video, well done!!

      @@davidberlanny3308 Hey David, thank you so much for watching. Yes the weather on top was just amazing for flying. Had it rained the drone probably would just land itself gently. The way down was slippery however we found a path which circles the mountain like a helter-skelter and that seemed the safest descent route.
