Drone Pilot - A LAKE FOR ALL SEASONS

It was a busy day and in the excitement of it, I completely forgot to post yesterday!

I went for a lovely long walk in the morning, meeting up with one of my walking companions part way. Then onto the more mundane activities of laundry, housework catch-up, detailing my car after the long winter and such.

I have a new drone, well it’s my first drone, a gift from my beloved earlier this year. I was beyond excited to receive it as I’ve thought about owning one for a few years now. It has been sitting here all charged up, apps downloaded and eagerly awaiting perfect flying conditions. Yesterday was the day when I was urged to take the plunge so to speak. Truth be known, I was apprehensive to say the least to take my first flight.

A few people I’d spoken to previously relayed stories of how easy they are to fly, especially if you’ve used the remotes for gaming (note, I’m sixty years old and have never ‘gamed’ in my life). I also have an old brain injury that leaves me struggling to co-ordinate my hands for such things. Others retold stories of how they had a go and crashed…and it goes on, so no pressure.

So with a paper in hand of a few notes to remind me of how to make some manoeuvres, I was as set as I’d ever be. So here is the result of my first flight. I have a steep learning curve and a lot of confidence to build, but oh my gosh, I LOVE flying…and I didn’t crash! Here is your introduction to ‘Dronescapes’.
