Derby Canal series - Sandiacre to the M1 by drone | DJI Mini2 | 1080p

Have you ever wondered where the Derby Canal used to run? Well in this video and future ones I will by flying my drone along the old route of the Derby Canal from Swarkestone to Sandiacre in sections. In this episode the journey starts at Sandiacre lock and ends at the M1 Motorway. This video is part of a collection of Derby Canal flights covering the entire original route of the canal in small parts. One set starting at Sandiacre and flying West to Derby and the other series starting at Swarkestone and flying north to Derby.
