Your video makes me want to play in the clouds again. 

Beautiful scenery and excellent video quality!

Glad you like it!

A short compilation of selected moments from recent flights. Nice places of the Strandja coast, Bulgaria.

Flown with GepPC Mk4 and MiniTalon, both with Revolution FC and OpLink for long-range radio control.

Nice jdl 

I have been to Sofia in business but could not imagine the country had such beautiful places.
So Strandja is over at Black Sea.
Hope to post something here after summer. Have a speed boat running on revo board.

Thanks, karla. Glad you like it!

Indeed, it's hard to know a country, especially its nature / landscapes by just visiting few cities.

Bulgaria has a beautiful nature and lots of places to visit. As usual, the most beautiful are harder to reach

Aside from this, it's a matter of luck to be there at the right moment and have the necessary equipment with you.

[karla]

True. Actually I am likely going to Sofia again at the end of the year.
Will consider to add a day and browse around a bit

Happy to share this short video, it's a result of a long anticipated visit (with the necessary FPV equipment in my backpack ) to this beautiful and favorite place in Rila Mountain (Bulgaria).

The Seven Rila Lakes

Wow!

Did you have to hike far?  How much elevation change during hike?

[jdl]

I did hike, 7.8km walking distance and 810m of positive elevation change between the take-off location and where I've left the car (these numbers are from the GPS tracklog).

Actually, the Seven Rila Lakes are easily accessible and tens of thousands of people visit them every summer. There is a convenient chair lift there that goes up to 2100m (right to the Rilski Ezera hut) and most of tourists/visitors use it. The lift saves a 500m of elevation change and about 5km of walking.

I just persisted to use my feet . I hadn't been there for years and wished to feel the forest and the mountain.

[karla]

Good sport! Nice scenery
Not far from Sofia also.
I probably use the cable car if I go there 

[jdl]

I'm sure you won't regret!
