If you’ve followed my adventures for any length of time, you’ll know that my little drone has been more than just a bit of kit. It’s been my mate in the skies — the thing that’s come with me through storms, sunrises, frozen fingers, boggy hillsides, and the odd telling-off from someone who didn’t appreciate being filmed from 120 metres up.

Sadly, its journey has come to an end. After years of loyal service and documenting the incredible landscapes, heritage, and hidden corners of the North, my poor little pal has finally given up. I’m absolutely gutted. That drone wasn’t just a camera… it was the way I shared the world with all of you.

But I don’t want the journey to stop here.

With your help, I’m hoping to raise funds towards a new drone so I can carry on creating the videos, photos, and stories so many of you have supported over the years. From waterfalls in full spate, to castles in golden light, to communities celebrating their big moments — this project only works because you’re all part of it.

If you’re able to chip in anything at all, no matter how small, it would mean the world. Times are tough for everyone, so even sharing this page helps more than you know.

Let’s keep Northern Perspectives flying — literally. Let’s not let a fallen comrade end the adventure.

Thank you so much for your kindness, your support, and for being part of this journey.

Dave
