Coalburn Bing

The weather has been so bad we haven't been able to fly recently so we took the chance and went out in a freezing December afternoon (post-Christmas) and went to see Bing. Not Bing Crosby but Coalburn Bing at the site of the old Number 9 pit near Coalburn in South Lanarkshire. This is the waste heap from the Coalmining that went on many years ago, my Dad worked there and so did many other people from the area. It's a fascinating mound and the chilling cold air gave us some lovely shots as we panned around it's almost "lunar" surface. You can see the wind turbines in the distance shrouded in the cold mist as the sun sets on the West side of the village and the footprints of people who were there before us and climbed the "bing". Also, we usually do all of our videos in one shot with no edits but this time "SHUG" (our drone) did not like the cold and did an RTH on the far side of the bing. So we wrapped him up and sent him back out again with his thermal pants on! Enjoy the video, please like and subscribe and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
