Hi All,
Such a great holiday. All the family travelled up north from Devon to Sowerby Bridge near Manchester for a barge holiday on the Rochdale Canal. With ages ranging from 8 to 82 between the 14 of us and also 3 dogs we had a good team to get both barges through the 80+ locks in under a week.

While on the barge I got a total of three flights done which were all on the same day due to the rapidly changing weather.

I used an empty drinks bottle strapped to the top of my quad as a floatation device just in case the quad hit the water, you can see it in the shadow of the quad at about 3:13 in the video.

All people in this video are family members and were aware I was flying around them within close proximity to the locks.
Thank you to Ian and Jason for being my spotters.

Being an expat from Tameside.....moved to Aussie 7 years ago.....it is nice to see the old canal again. Me and the boss used to drive through Oldham and pull up near the canal and walk over to have a canal side walk.
Lots of things need changing in the UK just now....but that countryside should stay as it is forever.
