Fly Across Ringo’s Dingle and Mural
To finish off this little series on the new Ringo mural, I returned this week with my friend Darren Brady to take a closer look.
Darren, an excellent cameraman also has a drone, so we decided to fly it across the Dingle and get close up to the mural.
He also flew it down Admiral Grove where Ringo grew up before heading back to Madryn Street where Ringo was born.
Enjoy the flight!
