Frustrating but tasty

An early morning expedition to flight test my new camera drone.

Having never seen a drone in use before, much less ever flown one, I have been careful to research the laws about how and where they should be flown etc. After passing the Civil Aviation Authority online flying test, the drone was labelled with my operator ID and I was good to go.

For my own peace of mind I picked a very out of the way place for my first flight practice. Unfortunately the place was so out of the way that the drone could not get a proper GPS lock and hence would not fly. Two more attempts on top of a hill and on top of the moors also failed to get a lock, so it is back to the manual etc.

Luckily, addition to being a beautiful "flight test facility" it had a bumper crop of blackberries, so I had an impromptu breakfast on the way back to the car.
